Tasting note
Albert Boxler Riesling Reserve 2019 opens with green apple, lemon, white flowers, and wet-stone minerality. The palate is dry and precise, with very high acidity giving the fruit energy and a saline line carrying through the finish. Citrus peel and a faint honeyed note add breadth without making the wine feel heavy. As it warms, the mineral character becomes more pronounced and the texture gains a gentle, waxy depth. The finish is long, clean, and mouthwatering. This is a Riesling built around tension and clarity rather than overt sweetness, and its acidity makes it useful with food. The wine can be enjoyed now for its precision while continuing to develop deeper petrol, honey, and mineral notes with bottle age.
The 2019 vintage
The 2019 Riesling Reserve is identified as an Alsace white with a Cellared window from 2020 through 2028 and a likely peak from 2022 through 2025. High acidity and a mineral frame support current drinking and further development. The dates are an estimate for a well-stored bottle, and the wine should be kept cool and protected from light.

From the cellar: pair with
Choucroute with smoked sausage
High acidity cuts the dish's richness while mineral freshness matches the fermented cabbage.
Grilled trout with lemon and herbs
Citrus and saline detail echo the lemon and keep the fish lifted.
Soft washed-rind cheese
The wine's acidity and mineral finish refresh the palate against the cheese's creamy intensity.
