Albert Boxler Description
All grapes are harvested by hand and no fining. After pressing, cold settling before fermentation begins and fermentation is is all natural. Vinified in foudre.
This is a crisp, refreshing wine with pronounced acidity. It demonstrates the cold-resistant characteristics of hard-wooded variety.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2018 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Eckberg is quite similar in the nose to the 2020, showing an intense and concentrated, layered bouquet of crushed stones with ripe lemons and phenols. Rich yet vital and pure on the palate, the 2018 reveals stunningly vivacious acidity combined with a long, saline and grippy finish that is still wonderfully biting and stimulatingly bitter. This is a great wine for sure; it just needs another 3–5 years to shine brilliantly. About 14% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2022.
