Wine of France.This noble white wine is produced from grapes grown in the south-east facing Beblenheim commune in the pretty region of Alsace. Often referred to as the king of white grape varieties, Riesling has exceptional attributes that can produce exquisite white wines.

Alsatian Rieslings have all this, coupled with a rich depth of flavour. Pale yellow in colour, highly aromatic with a lemony character and a crisp, fresh palate, this Kleinfels Riesling has a sublime complexity. Layers of citrus fruit and a steely mineral backbone support the bright acidity right through to a long, ethereal finish. Beblenheim's Kleinfels Riesling is best enjoyed chilled as a refreshing aperitif, or is perfect with crab salads, baked fish, white meat or poultry dishes. Fabulous with eastern cuisine.

The mousse is smooth, creamy and persistent. A distinctive feature of our Bleu Brut is the absence of malolactic fermentation. “Its dazzling clarity, imbued with minerality, reveals the depth of its original balance. Brimming with fruit, spices and immense energy, Bleu Brut shimmers with luminous coppery highlights and offers magnificent depth. A timeless signature. A first step into the
