Meyer Fonne Riesling Reserve 2021 AOP French White Wine 75 cl 12,5%

Meyer Fonné is one of Alsace's more artisanal producers, known for letting each individual terroir speak for itself through a range of precisely defined single-vineyard wines - and Riesling Reserve is the house's classic entry into that style.
