Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Grand Cru Saering

This is an Alsace Riesling from the Saering Grand Cru, made by Domaines Schlumberger. The slope's soils of marl, chalk and limestone, together with good sun exposure and natural ventilation, give the wine its mineral character and freshness. The grapes are picked by hand. In the glass it is bright pale straw with green glints. The nose brings citrus, white peach and wild flowers, with a saline mineral edge, a delicate hint of petrol and a touch of sweet spice. On the palate the structure is balanced and the acidity lively, with white-fleshed fruit and a slightly spiced, long finish.
