Vibrations

The interplay of restrained creaminess, lemon aromas and saltiness make this an appealing natural wine, and the tannins on the well-structured, medium-bodied palate are animating. In spite of the moderate acidity, it’s wonderfully fresh in the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now. Glass stopper.

This Riesling comes from 40 year old vines rooted in their biodynamic Bennwihr estate. Ten percent was macerated on skins for 10 days, and then blended back with the whole for a native ferment in foudre, where it rested on lees for 1 year until bottling with light filtration and a minimum of sulphur. Honeyed lemon, tangerine, lime pith, grapefruit streak through this tight and nimble dry wine, with an undercurrent of grippy granite, and perfume of wildflowers that lingers on the finish. Understated, yet, profound, with killer Riesling acidity that sings.
