The holiday table isn't complete without Riesling. Laserbeam acidity delivering a mouthful of minerality, citrus, and underipe pear. Long saline finish.

An odd one, this: all the texture and classic aromas I'd expect from Alsatian riesling, but even its modest 12.5% alcohol (at least on the label) dominates the experience.

Tout droit avec le citron, acidité piquant mais pas frappant. Un vin excellent avec la cuisine alsacienne mais également un beau jour d'automne.

Big notes of petrol with hints of sage, pineapple and white flowers. An initial burst of tropical fruit quickly leads to deep slate minerality and bit, biting acidity and a mouth-coating richness. The finish is long and drying but very fresh.
