2016 Andre Kientzler Kirchberg Riesling Grand Cru, Alsace, France
A$82.95
The Andre Kientzler Kirchberg Riesling is still a youngster at this stage. The nose which has a heap of ripe citrussy notes, tempered with nashi pear undeton. There is a salinty edge which is hiding the fruit. I suspect this will be a class act in the next year or two. Pop a couple in the cellar.

Tuvillé is still pretty reductive and shows a prominent sulphur note on the nose at this early stage.
Full-bodied, fresh and mineral, with ripe fruit and good balance, this is a firmly structured wine with grip, tension and great aging potential. Like always at Kientzler, the wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
The addition of sulfur is around 90 milligrams, so readers have to be patient with this Kirchberg.
