From the Ad Quadratum range, L'Arabesque is a blend of mainly Gewurztraminer (90%) and Muscat. It delivers an exuberant, complex off-dry wine, with pleasant exotic and Muscat notes. Very pleasant on the palate, the texture is smooth and velvety. Ideal with exotic, sweet-savory cuisine or blue cheeses. Immediate pleasure!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The Rieflé family, Jean-Claude and his sons Thomas and Paul, expanded their vineyard when they took over Seppi Landmann's plots, and now their vines stretch from Pfaffenheim to Soultzmatt, at the bottom of the Noble valley. The viticulture is extremely meticulous, with careful thought given to soil conservation, and this has been evident in the wines tasted over the last few vintages. All the more so as Jean-Claude Rieflé has returned from his trials with natural wines, which had more than intrigued us a few years ago. Their terroir wines express a gastronomic salinity.

Rated 14.5/20 (Vintage 2016) (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
For the Rieflé family, it's a family affair: the first winegrower in the line appeared as early as 1830. Today, Thomas looks after the vines, Paul is in charge of marketing and Jean-Claude, the father, makes the wine. But it's their daily dialogue that drives the estate forward. The 2011 vintage, marked by the purchase of the famous Seppi Landmann estate, coincides with the start of a vinification process in search of greater purity: more fat and texture, but without the sugars, and slightly longer ageing on fine lees. A new packaging also promises greater clarity in the range on offer. Finally, note the entry-level wines, which can be blends: L'Éclat, a dry wine, L'Aplomb, round and full-bodied, L'Arabesque aromatic. L'Étoffe in red.

A few months ago, I used 4 glasses. Re-tasted today, I added 1 glass. Leave it to air for an hour or so. Excellent.
