Riesling, Alsace, France
Let us enter the towering, mystical Vosges Mountains! Here, fourth-generation winemaker Leo Dirringer biodynamically farms his family’s stunning land in the historic wine region of Dambach-La-Ville. Cultivating near forty organic plots – like the sandy-granitic ‘Grain de Sable’ – his property is fragmented over 13 hectares of rolling, ruching hillsides. This type of mineral driven, electric and zero-zero riesling is dripping with magnetism and simply ready to steal the show in any situation. Grapes were handpicked from 45 year-old vines, direct pressed and aged for 20 months in large, old oak barrels to collect its thoughts. Sharp edges, salt crystals, verdant richness, flinty affection, mountain air & a salivary inducing flawlessness!
