Riesling Steinacker Schiste 2020

£16.00

This Riesling Steinacker was grown in the small eponymous vineyard that the Meyers brought back to life at the foot of the Ungersberg in Albé. They planted the vines on the rocky terrace surroundings facing south-east. The schist of this terroir has magnified the grape variety. This wine has great length, with explosive fruit, and a mineral power that will increase with age.

The colour is pale yellow, with green reflections, revealing freshness. The nose has an intense bouquet of white flowers, acacia, and subtle notes of honey.
It is dry and lively with a well-marked acidity, which is the backbone of the wine. It is a shale Riesling, with good length and good minerality.
