Alsace AOP Riesling Vieilles Vignes 2024 Arthur Metz

What kind of wine is it

Arthur Metz Riesling Vieilles Vignes is a white wine from Alsace made exclusively from Riesling. After a gentle pressing, vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to maintain a crisp and well-defined profile. The style remains dry and savoury, with good structure and persistence, designed to offer a precise and linear drink.

Where does it come from

It originates in Alsace from the Vieilles Vignes line vineyards of Arthur Metz. The rows grow on marl-limestone soils rich in gravel, elements that are an integral part of the wine’s identity and its sense of place.

How is it made

The Riesling grapes are pressed delicately to obtain a clean must and preserve the fineness of the profile. Fermentation and vinification take place in stainless steel with temperature control, a choice that focuses on aromatic clarity and definition of the palate.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, you can perceive citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit. The palate is dry and savoury, supported by a good structure and persistent finish, with citrusy sensations that remain consistent until the end.

Food pairings

It pairs well with flavourful fish dishes, including those made with freshwater fish, where its dryness and savouriness nicely complement the flavours. It is also suitable for savoury pies with cheese and vegetables, thanks to its clean profile and structure supporting richer ingredients.

When to serve

It is recommended when you want a dry white with a citrusy character and good minerality, ideal at the table with seafood cuisine and savoury preparations. Vinification in steel and its precise style make it a reliable choice for both lunch and dinner.
