Domaine Schieferkopf Alsace Riesling – Buehl
$64.00 – $72.00
Description
Description
Nose: The nose is open on notes of exotic fruits such as pineapple and mango conferred by the sunny character of this south-facing hillside. There are also very mineral expressions of white flowers.
Palate: The mouth is greedy and fruity with a good length.
Varietal(s): Riesling.
Harvest: The grapes are harvested manually in boxes of 20 kg.
in a unique sub-soil on the only strip of blue schist in Alsace which dates back to the Precambrian (over 542 million years ago). Its soils are deeper than that of the neighbouring Fels plot (over 30cm) and give the wines from the Buehl vineyard their powerful structure. A southern exposure and a steeply sloping hillside (up to 40%) result in a remarkably round and concentrated wine.
Vinification: Vinification starts with a long pressing, then a static cold settling is carried out. Fermentation takes place thanks to native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is complete. The wines from Domaine de Schieferkopf undergo full malolactic fermentation and are characterized by their late ripening terroir which enhances the complexity and round structure of our wines. The malolactic fermentation brings out the minerality from the blue schist terroir.
