New. Biodynamic. The Altenbourg vineyard lies east of Schlossberg, just below the Grand Cru Furstentum. The soils are composed of limestone and rich clays and as such, it’s considered an optimal site for Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. There are, however, several plots of Riesling. In the past, these vines tended to favour sweeter styles. However, the onset of warmer and drier vintages has seen this vineyard pivot to dry Rieslings with great success. This 2023 is just the third vintage, and the style tends to be more floral and chalkier than the domaine’s Schlossberg Rieslings.

Reviews

“The 2023 Riesling Altenbourg is from limestone soils. Subtle smokiness wraps itself around gentle citrus, which opens up more and more on the nose. The palate is totally clean-cut but offers soothing peachiness in its cooling depth. This is beautiful, bright and elegant (Bone-dry)”
95 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
“This big, bold, dry Alsace riesling has quite a Burgundian personality, except for the freshness of the acidity on the medium- to full-bodied palate that is totally riesling. Aromas of really ripe apricots and lively citrus. Long, bold finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.”
