The village of Orschwihr is situated between the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest, in the Haut Rhine region of Alsace, in northeastern France. The Albrecht family established themselves as vignerons here in the 1770?s, and with 25 hectares (62 acres) planted, they are the largest vineyard owners in Orschwihr. Jean Albrecht, the ninth-generation of Albrecht winemakers, produces wines that are rich, balanced, pure in style, and that offer versatility with a wide range of cuisines, complementing everything from classic Alsatian dishes to spicy Indian or Thai meals.

Riesling Cuvee Henri
This is a beautiful Riesling with the vines over 40 years old. Fresh floral and honey notes are present in the nose, while the wine is rich and loaded with fruit and good acids for a clean finish. This is as pure and unadulterated an expression of Riesling fruit as one can hope to find, that says more about the sheer youth of the wine, since a delicate young Riesling reveals flaws that become less apparent with time. There is nothing shrill or metallic here, just fruit so fresh that one almost expects to hear a crunch
