Alsace Riesling Holder 2023 Domaine Schoenheitz

Alsace Riesling Holder 2023

Smoky minerality, carved by granite.

A Riesling from the granite and clay soils of the Holder lieu-dit. Lime and lemon peel with hints of white peach and passion fruit, while flinty, smoky minerality from the granite adds complexity. Crisp acidity frames the wine, with depth and savouriness on the mid-palate and a long finish of saline minerality and gentle citrus bitterness. Lovely with poached lobster or sole meunière.
