Sophie Schaal - Alsace Riesling - Blanc - 2021

Wine:

The 2021 White Riesling is a wine of disarming simplicity but with an amazing sweetness to it. Vinified without the use of wood, it expresses all the nuances of its grape variety with conviction; citrus, white pepper, orange blossom, a touch of lime and tropical fruit... Straightforward and precise flavors that flow into a pure, very fresh, concentrated palate with finesse. A very elegant white wine, to be reserved at the beginning of the meal with shellfish, cheese or marinated or raw fish. Noted 93/100 by the Committee.
