Schoenenbourg Vineyard

Grand cru slope above Riquewihr, famous for structured Alsace Riesling.

The Schoenenbourg grand cru rises just above Riquewihr, and even if you are not deep into wine it is worth walking up for the view. The village sits below like a theatre set, with the Rhine plain beyond and the Vosges at your back.

For wine drinkers, Schoenenbourg is one of the names to remember in Alsace, especially for Riesling. The slope's reputation is old, and its bottles tend to show why the region's best wines are about structure and age as much as perfume.
