Grand Cru status.
Their Grand Cru Riesling comes from Wiebelsberg, a microclimate with steep slopes, a south/south-east exposure and a river at the bottom of the valley. Ideal conditions for a well rounded Riesling with great concentration of fruit, soft buttery notes and a refreshing mineral drive.
The Gewurztraminer grown in Zotzenberg (also containing appellation Grand Cru), has incredible power and richness combined with bright tropical fruit and rose petals.
The wines from Domaine Boeckel offer an opportunity to explore the best of what Alsace can offer. Grand Crus or not, they are incredible value for money maintaining top quality without the price tag of some of the more well known regions.
