This charming Riesling Grand Cru is made from 60-year-old vines grown on blue slate soil. It has a generous and bodacious character, with tropical citrus, papaya, and routing grooves through all that plump fruit. The grippy, firm, determined acidity gives it a long-term stamina. The wine is also straightforward and generous, with hints of sweetness and a mildly bitter and stony backbone. The fruity blend of white peach, aromatic apricot, and exotic passion fruit flavours complement this Grand Cru's fine acidic structure, which gives it a complex and elegant note. The juicy nature of this lively wine is particularly accentuated in the finish, revealing the tension and density of its character. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
