Herbal and spicy notes complete the flavour profile.<\/dd>\n<dt>Palate<\/dt>\n<dd>Crystalline and electric - that's how this Riesling presents itself on the palate. With air contact, it develops increasing juiciness: <strong>clear, charming acidity<\/strong>, <strong>Salt<\/strong> and <strong>Iodine<\/strong>, in addition <strong>Pollen<\/strong>, <strong>Apple<\/strong> and herbal notes. Over two days, the wine gains elegance and silky texture without losing its tension.

These free-draining, east-facing soils warm up quickly and create ideal conditions for early-ripening Riesling - an exceptional mineral phenomenon in a region dominated by limestone marl.<\/dd>\n<dt>Grape variety &amp; vinification<\/dt>\n<dd>Pure sorter <strong>Riesling<\/strong>, Hand-picked according to pH value and acidity. Whole-cluster pressing for 8-10 hours in a hydraulic basket press (Champagne pressing), spontaneous fermentation in Burgundy barrels over 10 years old. Nine months on the lees without racking and addition of SO\u2082, only minimal sulphitisation before bottling. Natural vinification that maximises the expression of the terroir.<\/dd>\n<dt>Food pairing suggestions<\/dt>\n<dd><strong>Oysters<\/strong>, <strong>Scallops<\/strong>, <strong>Sashimi<\/strong>, <strong>Steamed monkfish<\/strong> with herbs, <strong>Goat cheese<\/strong> or <strong>matured Comt\u00e9<\/strong>. The salty minerality harmonises perfectly with seafood.<\/dd>\n<dt>Special features<\/dt>\n<dd>A natural wine from Hunter McKirdy that combines precision with vibrancy.
