The Cave de Ribeauvillé, is the oldest wine co-operative in France, founded in 1895. The winemakers work together with the growers to ensure low yields and only hand-picked grapes. The co-op includes over 650 acres of vines surrounding the town of Ribeauvillé. The vineyards for this Alsace Grand Cru Riesling are just over the wall from the famed Clos Ste. Hune vines (which create one of the most expensive wines in Alsace).
