Andre Kientzler

Andre Kientzler is yet another great wine producer working among the manifold faults of Bergheim and Ribeauville. His perfectionist approach means that every wine here is noteworthy. Greatest of all though are the profound, deep-flavoured and cellar-seeking Rieslings from the Grand Crus of Geisberg and Osterberg. ANDREW JEFFORD, The New France

One of the most talented Winemakers in Alsace.he has Riesling and Gewrztraminer growing in prime sites and it is what he manages to do with these that ranks his wines among the very best in Alsace. Although his generic Riesling has great class and finesse, his Grand Cru ‘Geisberg’ and Grand Cru Osterberg are very much finer. The Geisberg is the riper and more opulent, with a wisp of smokiness to the fruit, the OsterberG is more classic and flinty, requiring longer in bottle. TOM STEVENSON, The Wines of Alsace
