Alsace Riesling Réserve 2020 Fernand Engel
The Alsace Riesling Réserve 2020 from Fernand Engel is a refined white wine that highlights the essence of Alsace’s flagship grape variety. The vineyards are located in the sectors of Rorschwihr and Bergheim, planted on red marl-limestone soils rich in stones and fossils from the Middle and Lower Jurassic era. These soils, combined with a moderate slope, provide an exceptional viticultural potential and allow the Riesling to express both finesse and great aging capacity.
Cultivated according to the principles of certified organic farming (ECOCERT), this wine reflects Engel’s philosophy of sustainability and deep respect for the terroir.
In the glass, it shows a light golden color. The bouquet is intense and expressive, with dominant fruit notes of wild peach, grapefruit, orange peel, and pineapple, complemented by floral hints of acacia, broom, honeysuckle, and verbena. Subtle touches of beeswax and a distinct mineral character add depth and typicity.
On the palate, the Alsace Riesling Réserve 2020 delivers a crisp and elegant taste, with a well-defined acidity that gives freshness and length. The expressive flavors of citrus and tropical fruits persist in a vibrant, refreshing finish. This Riesling is both fruity and floral, combining purity, freshness, and balance.
It pairs beautifully with seafood, fish in cream-based sauces such as skate with cream, grilled fish like trout with almonds, as well as classic Alsatian specialties like choucroute, baeckaoffa, and schiffala. It is also a superb companion for white meats such as coq au Riesling or veal escalope with mushrooms and cream.
A genuine expression of Alsatian Riesling, this wine captures the harmony between fruit, freshness, and terroir, signed by one of the region’s leading producers.
