Boeckel Klevener de Heiligenstein 2024

This is a 2024 white wine from Domaine Boeckel in Alsace, made from Klevener de Heiligenstein, a rare grape grown only around the village of Heiligenstein. The vines grow on clay and limestone soils. The wine is a luminous gold. The nose is expressive, with ripe apple and pear, floral notes and a delicate touch of spice. The palate is broad and generous, balanced by a fresh acidity and a supple texture, and it ends on a persistent, lightly spiced finish. It suits traditional Alsatian dishes, white meats and soft cheeses, and also works as an aperitif, served at 8 to 10°C.
