Kuentz-Bas Riesling 2020 – Alsace Grit Meets Alpine Elegance

Tasting Notes

This is Riesling with both backbone and grace. It opens with fresh red pear and fennel fronds, playful and inviting. The palate is “loose and heavy” but balanced by lively acidity—think savory fennel, wet slate, and a whisper of smoke lingering on a long, vibrant finish. It’s mineral, it’s elegant, and it definitely earned the 92 pts nod.
