Albert Boxler is an Alsace producer of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer, white blends and Cremant sparkling wine. The 34-acre estate has been in the Boxler family since the 17th century, when a Swiss farmer named Albert Boxler moved to Niedermorschwihr and planted vineyards. The family didn’t start bottling their own wine until 1946, and the labels on most bottles still include the same charming village scene that a Boxler cousin sketched for the debut label in 1946. Vines are typically 35-65 years old and there are several Riesling Grand Crus produced only in outstanding vintages. Albert Boxler also produces a small amount of Pinot Noir. Albert Boxler wines are renown, and the 2008 Boxler Sommmerberg “E” won a rarely-given four-star rating from the New York Times wine review panel.
