This Riesling features taut acidity and smoky minerality, thanks to the granite and clay soil. Exotic fruit and citrus aromas are complemented by a firm structure and a lingering, salty finish. Grown using farming methods that are in harmony with nature, this is a pure and profound wine.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
A pale lemon yellow in color with a delicate sheen. The aroma is based on fresh citrus fruits, lime and lemon peel, with exotic nuances reminiscent of passion fruit and white peach. Furthermore, flint and smoky minerals from the granite form a structure that adds complexity. In the mouth, the sharp acidity is impressive from the attack, and the taut structure tightens the entire wine.
The mid-palate is rich in fruit and umami, with a subtle hint of honey from aging. The finish is long, with salty minerals and a pleasant citrus bitterness.

Pairing
Poached lobster
Lemongrass and citrus aroma
Sole Meunière
White wine sauce
Goat cheese and herb tart
