Geisberg

One of the AOC sites classified as Grand Cru in Alsace (Haut-Rhin) within the Alsace Grand Cru appellation. The terraced vineyards cover almost nine hectares of vines on stony limestone-clay soil in the commune of Ribeauvillé. The name probably derives from the stony soil, as "Geis" in old German means "stony slope". The Riesling from here was already famous in 1308. Other varieties are Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. Well-known producers are Robert Faller, André Kientzler and Trimbach.

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
