2021 Dry Riesling, Estate
Although we have been making our iconic Dry Riesling since our first crush in 1983, it was not until 2005 that we planted our Estate Vineyard. Our aim is to produce a Dry Riesling that reflects the terroir of our site and is charming in its youth and complex and nuanced as it matures. (In Alsace the vintners claim that you shouldn’t open a Riesling until it’s four years old!)
Our 2021 Estate Riesling opens with aromatic hints of apple, tangerine and macadamia nut. The bright citrus flavors and the classic minerality are accompanied by a balance of bracing acidity, soft tannins and a slightly creamy texture. Serve it with seafood (especially shellfish), with chicken, or with its favorite partner: Choucroute Garnie a l’Alsacienne.
