A hint of flint

toasty brioche notes and refreshing citrus

with a notes of hard cheese rind meld together

Sadly the total production is a measly 500 bottles which makes the price even more remarkable

Fruit is primarily sourced from the oldest vines in the vineyard with "pockets" of other areas added for additional complexity

Schieferkopf ‘Lieu-dit-Fels’ 2018 Size::1 Bottle A hint of flintThis noble Alsatian Riesling is grown on blue schist soil and the grapes undergo a relatively long pressing before fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The domaine then favours a partial malolactic fermentation before maturing for 10 months in large casks on fine lees. You find prune, mint and ripe citrus fruit (lemon, orange and grapefruit) notes on the nose, preceding a lively palate with a chiselled minerality and impeccably sustained finish.
