Sourced from vineyards surrounding the estate’s Grand Cru holdings, the wine reflects the domaine’s classic style — precise, mineral and built around freshness and terroir expression rather than overt fruit richness. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"875\"\u003eThe nose is elegant and finely detailed, showing lime zest, citrus blossom and white orchard fruit layered with subtle floral notes and wet stone minerality. The warm but balanced 2022 vintage delivered excellent fruit concentration while retaining freshness, resulting in a Riesling that is expressive yet highly refined. Critics and merchants consistently describe the wine as pure, dry and mineral-inflected in style. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a beautifully focused structure. Citrus, green apple and saline mineral notes are supported by chalky tension and a long, clean finish. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve purity and vibrancy, the wine leans toward a classic dry Alsace expression with freshness and precision rather than richness. The 2022 vintage is especially attractive for its balance between ripe fruit texture and energetic acidity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1422\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1425\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best “classic dry Alsace Riesling” options for customers looking to explore terroir-driven European whites without stepping into Grand Cru pricing. Compared to German Riesling, it’s drier, broader and more mineral-driven; compared to New World Riesling, it’s more savoury and structured. Kientzler’s house style is all about precision and longevity, and even the entry Riesling shows serious quality and ageing potential. Drink now or cellar comfortably for 8–12+ years. Perfect with oysters, seafood, pork, sushi or refined Asian cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eKientzler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRiesling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wine More Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280541155643,"sku":"KTZ22RIESLING","price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2022_Kientzler_Riesling.jpg?v=1779711612","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-kientzler-riesling","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
