If you like your Riesling focused, structured and very precise, start here.
Rosacker lies above Hunawihr on limestone-rich soils. The vineyard produces Riesling with a strong mineral backbone, bright citrus character and plenty of tension.
The 2024 brings yellow apple, nectarine and citrus together with lively acidity. It feels composed and tightly drawn, with the fruit held firmly in place by the wine’s structure.
This is the bottle to open for someone who thinks Riesling is always soft, fruity or sweet.

Rosacker comes from five parcels with varying combinations of Triassic limestone and clay.
Anne Krebiehl MW describes a bone-dry, elegant Riesling with gentle smoke, orange blossom, citrus and a cool saline character. There is plenty of freshness, but the wine’s most striking quality is its sense of calm and completeness.
