Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru AC 2017 1500ml

Wine Description for Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru AC 2017 1500ml by Domaine Albert Mann

Colour & Appearance

A brilliant, clear lemon yellow with delicate, white-gold reflections that retain remarkable brilliance in the magnum bottle.

Nose

The bouquet is a textbook example of intellectual precision. It reveals cool aromas of citrus zest, green apple and white flowers, underpinned by a deep, almost smoky minerality that recalls wet flint.

Palate

On the palate, the uncompromising structure of Schlossberg granite reveals itself. The wine is bone-dry, carried by a vibrant, laser-like acidity and possesses an almost ethereal elegance. Notes of lime and fine phenolics lend it grip and enormous tension.

Finish

The finish is long, focused and concludes with a distinctive saline note, typical of this terroir and which stimulates the drinking experience.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the heart of the Grand Cru vineyard site Schlossberg, characterised by steep terraces and nutrient-poor granite soils (migmatite), which produce wines of crystalline purity.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Riesling from biodynamic viticulture. The Barthelmé brothers employ minimally invasive cellar techniques to bring the inimitable character of the vineyard site into the bottle unaltered.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with fine seafood, pike-perch pan-fried on the skin or classic veal sweetbreads. Also an ideal companion to complex Haute Cuisine dishes with citrus accents.

Special Features

The bottling in magnum format (1500ml) guarantees slower maturation and even more precise aromatics – a wine with considerable ageing potential for connoisseurs.
