2019 Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru

The 2019 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg exhibits a clear and intense yellow color and an impressively ripe, intense and elegant, complex but also refined bouquet with lemony and fine, flinty terroir aromas. Based on old vines and aged in stainless steel for nine months without undergoing malolactic fermentation, this is a very elegant, saline and vertically structured Riesling with great intensity and a saline finish. The fruit is round and refined, very elegant and carried by a substantial mineral spine as well as remarkably fine crystalline and saline acidity. This is an impressive, intense and textured, finely tannic Schlossberg bottled with 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
