Vintage 2018 | Jean Paul Schmitt is a winegrower that makes wines of character in Scherwiller. Biodynamic. All of one plot, the Rittersberg with granite terroir. This cuvée ZEN appeals to me. It is a ‘gemischter satz’ (blend) of five winegrapes. Friendly, flint, good body, citrus and good acidity. Fine effort. — 4 days ago

Light straw yellow.
Very expressive and generous. Not as sweet as anticipated, which is a good thing. Lots of ginger and beautiful lemony fruity notes (-zest, -curd, -oil). Touches of apricot, pineapple,lychee and pickles. Tropical flowers, as well.
Gorgeous wine! — 3 days ago

Vintage 2018 | 24 hl/ha. Blackberries. Brushwood. High acidity. Not easy to make, the vintner told us. If there are few unripe or moldy grapes in the grape must it effects the whole cuvée. — 4 days ago
