Perfect with grilled chicken satay, thanks to the sweet orange/bergamotte fruitiness. Some bicarbonate limestone minerality on the finish. A lively and fresh food companion!

Richly fruity, lots of orange citrus aromas and flavours. So generous, almost a bit tannic on the back end, yet perfectly fresh. Lovely stuff from a warm vintage. Lichtle wines rule the summer of 2011!

The nose is all about ripe citrus, mostly mandarines and oranges, with mineral and aniseed. Quite rich and fruity taste with ripe orange acids. Mandarine flavours, good salinity and an expansive blood orange finish. The grapes have grown on a lime-clay soil that renders a good acid structure without bitterness and none of the typical alsace granite petrol aromas. Differs from most basic alsace riesling, very Gueberschwihr and very Lichtlé in style with a long fermentation of six months. "Agrumes" is the french word for these flavours.
