    Product description

    The renowned Becker family, whose winemaking legacy dates back to 1610, produces wines of the highest standard and, holds vineyards across five Grand Cru areas; Froehn, Schlossberg, Sonnenglanz, Praelatenberg and Schoenenberg.

    Lying on a steep slope composed of maarl soil with silt pebbles, Schoenenbourg is one perfectly suited to Riesling which will age wonderfully. Rich and refined with subtle aromas of exotic fruits, violets and white truffle. Complex and generous with a refreshing acidity and  mineral notes. Great length.

    Awards

    Juicy, mellow apple, dried apple skin and dried lemon rind make for a rich and mellow nose on this vivid wine. The palate redoubles on creamy, zesty mellowness reminiscent of tart, baked apple flesh. All is made vibrant with lemon acidity and the finish is rounded but bone dry. The wine is intense and rich, but svelte

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Jean Becker

    The Becker family’s winemaking legacy dates back to 1610 in Zellenberg (a village opposite Riquewhir), with the estate now in the hands of Jean Becker, the 13th generation. The wines produced are of the highest standard, with vineyard holdings across five Grand Cru areas. Since 1999 production has been certified organic, reinforcing their attention to detail and respect for their unique terroir. The winery came to global attention in 1988 when their Muscat Selection de Grains Noble from Grand Cru Froehn vineyard was picked at a record breaking potential alcohol level of 26 degrees.

    Vineyards & Wine Produced

    Alsatian noble grape varieties (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat) are planted in the estate’s various Grand Cru vineyards located in Froehn, Schlossberg, Sonnenglanz, Praelatenberg and Schoenenberg. They also cultivates Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner and Chasselas.  They produce wines under Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru alongside some ‘Vendanges Tardives’ (late harvest) and ‘Selection des Grains Nobles’.
