Bestheim Alsace Riesling Classic AOC

This Riesling from Alsace is a wonderfully intense, fresh and fruity accompaniment to carefree spring and summer moments. Fragrant floral, especially white blossom notes (Robinia) and intense notes of citrus fruits characterize the bouquet. There are also pleasant mineral undertones.

On the palate, the Bestheim Alsace Riesling is racy and invigorating. The pure Riesling has a full body. The white wine also impresses with its outstanding freshness and aromatic depth. Above all, the aroma of ripe lemons comes into its own here. The great balance and the beautiful length also characterize this French Riesling.

Enjoy the dry Riesling from the Bestheim cooperative winery at a drinking temperature of 8-10 degrees. The white wine, which shimmers pale golden in the glass, is an ideal accompaniment to shellfish and fish. But the Bestheim Alsace Riesling, matured in stainless steel tanks, is also a very good choice for traditional sauerkraut, goat cheese or roasted poultry.

Bestheim

Im Jahr 2000 schlossen sich die Weinkellereien aus Bennwihr und Westhalten im Elsass zu dem Verbund Bestheim zusammen. Die Wurzeln des Unternehmens gehen jedoch bis ins Jahr 1765 zurück.

Südlich von Colmar, im Zentrum des Vallée Noble liegt das Dorf Westhalten. Hier erzeugt Bestheim seine außergewöhnlichen Schaumweine, die Cremants d'Alsace. Der Standort Bennwihr, nördlich von Colmar und direkt an der elsässischen Weinstraße gelegen, hat sich dagegen auf die Produktion von Stillweinen spezialisiert. Der Genossenschaft angeschlossenen sind 480 Weinbauern, die 1400 ha Rebflächen bewirtschaften. Zusätzlich kauft Bestheim die Produktion von weiteren 400 ha ein. Bei der Arbeit im Weinberg wie im gesamten Unternehmen legt Bestheim großen Wert auf den Umweltschutz.

Die sieben zugelassenen Elsässer Rebsorten sind Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Muscat d’Alsace, und Pinot Noir. Bestheim produziert das gesamte Sortiment in verschiedenen Qualitäten. Im Jahr 2008 weitete Bestheim seine Produktion aus und betreibt jetzt zusätzlich zwei Châteaux in Bordeaux (Château De Caillavet und Château Fillon) mit etwa 45 ha Rebfläche.
