Schieferkopf Riesling trocken, Lieu dit Buehl 2020 0,75l

Schieferkopf Riesling Lieu dit Buehl comes from a warm single vineyard in the Rhine basin whose sandy, gravelly soils yield ripe, concentrated Riesling. The organically farmed vines are hand-harvested and the wine is raised in large traditional casks. The bouquet shows citrus fruit, ripe peach and floral tones with a hint of herbal spice. On the palate it is full-bodied, juicy and powerful yet finely etched. Lively acidity and pronounced salinity provide tension and impressive length. The persistent, mineral finish makes this a characterful partner for Asian-inspired cuisine, white meats and well-aged cheeses.

Ageing for 15 months in large foudres supports the powerful structure and salty mineral depth of the Riesling.

The grape variety: Riesling

Riesling is a noble white grape famous for citrus fruit, stone fruit, floral notes and vibrant acidity. It can be dry, off-dry, sparkling or beautifully sweet.
