The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The elite of Alsace wine-growing, Domaine René Muré wines are devilishly soft and captivating. The estate's careful practice of organic farming kindles this effect. Big and fat but without residual sugar, the wines have an irresistable fleecy character and a unique texture on the palate....almost carnel!
Wine Riesling Cote de Rouffach 2008 exudes the spirit of the estate. Although "dry", this riesling is opulent and fat. However there is no trace of heaviness anywhere, the wine's texture radiates a mineral freshness. This is the perfect gastronomic Riesling to light up your dishes.
Vinification Organically farmed grapes, hand-harvested, slow fermentation and aging on the lees. Yield: 59 hl/ha.
