Kirchberg is the highest and coolest vineyard in the village of Ribeauville lying closest to the forest which has cooling breezes drifting down from the afternoon and all evening. From this higher and cooler site this wine is consistently one of the freshest and raciest Rieslings in Alsace. The Kientzler holding is very close to the forest and also located quite high on the slope making this one of Alsace's coolest Rieslings. The 2019 here is very much in the mould for the vineyard with very fine tight citric fruit and a great line of acidity with about 2g/l more acidity than for the 2018 vintage. 2019 finishes with 14% Alc/Vol; 3.51 g/l RS; 8.43 g/l TA. 95/100 points, Bettane & Desseauve 2022. 95/100 points Le Guide des meilleurs Vins de France RVF 2022
