✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted in the village of Voegtlinshoffen along the eastern slopes of the Vosges Mountains, Théo Cattin Riesling exemplifies the crisp, dry, and mineral-driven character typical of Alsace. Benefiting from the rain-shadow effect created by the mountains, the vineyards experience an unusually dry and sunny microclimate, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining vibrant natural acidity. Fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve purity of fruit, this wine presents bright citrus notes, white flowers, green apple, and a distinct line of minerality derived from the region's rich limestone and clay soils.
