Product Description
Wine Spectator
"Mouthwatering acidity and a minerally, smoke-tinged underpinning frame juicy flavors of ripe yellow peach, pine, crushed almond and lemon curd in this creamy and elegant, light- to medium-bodied white. Offers a long, fragrant finish. Drink now through 2030."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Terroir: The steeply-sloping plots of Riesling Via Saint-Jacques are located in the communes of Reichsfeld and Bernardvillé and happen to lie close to one of the Chemins de Compostelle routes. The grapes are therefore from a terroir of blue schist which is unique in Alsace and dates from the Precambrian (over 542 million years ago). Vinification: Vinification starts with a long pressing, then a static cold settling is carried out. Fermentation takes place thanks to native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is complete. The wines from Domaine de Schieferkopf undergo full malolactic fermentation and are characterized by their late ripening terroir which enhances the complexity and round structure of our wines. The malolactic fermentation brings out the minerality from the blue schist terroir. Tasting Notes: Steady gold color. Varietal aromas, with citrus notes, spices and pineapple. The acidity is frank. The final exhibits salty notes and is very aromatic.
