Schieferkopf Riesling trocken, Lieu dit Fels 2020 0,75l
Schieferkopf Riesling Lieu dit Fels shows how precise and refined Riesling can be on Alsatian blue schist. The vines grow on a steep south‑east facing slope with very shallow, stony soils and are harvested carefully by hand. After a long pressing the juice ferments with native yeasts and matures in large old casks on fine lees. The bouquet reveals yellow stone fruit, citrus, meadow herbs and a touch of acacia honey. On the palate the wine is crystalline and concentrated yet delicate, combining ripe fruit with salty minerality and racy, citrus‑driven acidity. A long, gently smoky finish makes it a superb partner for grilled fish and flavourful, herb‑driven dishes.
Where blue schist breaks through the surface in Alsace, Schieferkopf in Alsace draws its unmistakable line: parcels such as “Fels” near Bernardvillé, steep, windswept and shallow-soiled, push the vines to root deep and speak with tension....
