Description

"Brightly fruited and elegantly lifted, the inviting bouquet shows white flesh stone fruit, rockmelon, lemon peel and floral characters with a hint of flinty complexity. The palate is finely textured and focused, delivering pristine fruit flavours together with juicy acidity, finishing persistent and linear. A delightfully styled Riesling offering terrific drinking. Style: Dry.’ At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Subtle, elegant wine Julien Riehl, Riesling is produced in the sunny Alsace. Ask a sommelier or wine critic their favourite white grape and chances are it’ll be Riesling. It’s renowned in Germany, Austria and the New World, but many forget that this variety produces some of its finest wines in Alsace, eastern France. Steep slopes, abundant sunshine (the sunniest spot in all France) and the Vosges mountains all lend the region’s wines a pristine freshness, amazing intensity and purity of fruit.
