West London Wine School: Alsace Riesling Grand Cru 2000s
Tuesday 4 October 2016
,
This is a truly delightful evening showcasing the King of the White Grapes, Riesling, from Alsace, where it is often crafted into complex, delicious and long-lived styles. All the wines hail from Grand Cru vineyard sites that are the epitome of Alsatian wine. We'll taste through nine different Grand Crus, ranging from 2010 to 2008, with all of the wines expressing development through extensive bottle ageing.
We will discover three wines from each vintage (2010, 2009, 2008) so we can taste the difference in vineyard site from the same vintage.
