Description
THE VINTAGE Early ripening and well managed yields made 2015 a successful vintage! After a very mild winter, spring continued to be very clement and easy. The warmer months of May and June encouraged vine growth. A July heat wave (often more than 40°C) with no rain slowed the vegetative cycle considerably. Happily, in mid August, the rain fell and permitted the vines to grow and the grapes to ripen. By end of August, the vines were in perfect condition. The weeks before harvest were sunny with cool nights and light showers. The grapes matured perfectly. TERROIR The terroir is heavy limestone and marl with light layers of sandstone. VARIETALS Riesling 100% SPECIFICATIONS Alcohol content: 13.5 % % vol. TECHNICAL DATA Residual Sugar (g/l): 7.7 g/l pH: 3.2 Acidity (g/l): 6 g/l SERVING Can be aged 10-15 years. Store on side between 10-15°C. Ideally served between 8-10°C. TASTING NOTES An intense and deep citrus nose. Ripe and powerful on the palate with a long clean finish. If there wasn’t a slightly aggressive hint of tanins at the finish, this would have been even higher. Marries marvelously with fine fish and white meats in creamy sauces. REVIEWS AND AWARDS 95/100 “Juicy lively tangerine notes dominate on the inviting nose. On the palate this juicy tanginess continues with constant veering between fruity richness of ripe flesh and zesty tart peel. There is an underlying freshness here that shines through all of the fruitful generosity and fills mouth and mind with swirling clouds of ripe citrus. The finish is dry, the body is concentrated and intense, the structure is of vivid freshness. Lovely now, certain to evolve. Drink now through 2038.” Anne Krebiehl, Wine Enthusiast, 31/12/2018
