This Riesling from the Muhlforst vineyard is distinguished by a meticulously orchestrated winemaking process.

Vincent Stoeffler
In Alsace, Domaine Vincent Stoeffler relies on a deep understanding of its plots and grape varieties, acquired over a long period. Vineyard work aims for optimal ripeness, without seeking over-concentration, in order to preserve the natural balance of the grapes and the expression of the terroir.
The Rieslings are vinified in a straightforward and luminous style, with a controlled tension that underscores the freshness of the Alsatian soils. The Gewurztraminers are deliberately restrained in their aromatic expression to avoid any heaviness and maintain true drinkability. Organic practices enhance the precision of the juices and contribute to the overall clarity of the wines.
The wines are aged primarily in large oak casks, providing slow and consistent oxygenation without overpowering them. This approach preserves the fruit, adds volume without excess, and allows each grape variety to express itself clearly. The wines display distinct profiles, without striving for a uniform style,
