Schieferkopf Riesling trocken, Lieu dit Berg 2022 0,75l
Schieferkopf Riesling Lieu dit Berg comes from a steep single vineyard on rare blue schist soils in southern Alsace. The grapes are hand-picked and the wine is aged for several months in large traditional casks. The bouquet offers citrus, candied lemon peel and mirabelle plum with a subtle smoky edge. On the palate this Riesling is precise and taut yet rounded, driven by high but perfectly integrated acidity. A striking mineral character and salty nuances give great depth and length. Its concentrated, linear style makes it an impressive match for refined fish dishes, shellfish and aromatic vegetable cuisine.
