Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg AOC Alsace, 2022

Medium lemon in colour and tightly wound with aromas of toasted almond, white peach, orange blossom, tinned peach, pink grapefruit, wet stone, and honey. Dazzlingly complex, even in its infancy! A varietally pure palate is all about ripe fruit and energy: notes of candied lemon, lime juice, toasted hazelnut, blossom, orange peel, white peach, pastry dough and white pepper delight the palate in waves. This is only medium-bodied but has vibrant acidity and bags of concentration. The finish is packed with an assortment of fruity delights, offering a serious stretch of retro-nasal gratification. 2024-2029–MP
