Schieferkopf - Alsace - Riesling - Lieu-Dit Berg - White - 2015

Wine:

With its delicate notes of lemon and a touch of butter, the 2015 Alsace Riesling Lieu-Dit Buehl Berg strikes a perfect balance between structure and elegance. The saline finish brings just the right tension, adding lift and length. It’s already showing beautifully, though it still has a few good years ahead. A smart match for white meats, terrines, or foie gras — if you're after something drier than the usual sweet wine pairing.
