How's it taste?
A very fresh yellow, pale green with dominant hints of green with lighter hints of the pale yellow of lime trees in spring, some silver, crystalline highlights, a pleasant energetic sheen, full and lively legs. The aroma is still a bit restrained and serious but with the fresh, clear, precise and well stated fruitiness of lime, fresh kiwi, lemongrass, gooseberry, fresh moss and a lightly mineral flinty nuance. On the palate this is a dry, refreshing and lively wine with a pleasant sense of tension and vivacity which enlivens the palate, it's rounded and full flavour ample quenches the thirst
How was it made?
Harvested exclusively by hand from clay and limestone vineyards in a dozen of the most favoured
localities in and around Riquewihr with a high percentage of estate grapes.
The grapes are taken in small tubs to the p resses, which are filled by gravity, without any pumping or
other mechanical intervention. After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in
temperature-controlled barrels or vats (at 18 to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural
clarification during the course of the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until released for sale.

I am absolutely wine obsessed and I love nothing better than sharing that obsession with others. I love choosing great bottles from all through the quality spectrum. From $10 quaffers through to truly monumental $100 bottles of liquid art, I love introducing friends, family and our customers to world beating wines at all price points. Below, you’ll find some wines I think you’ll really love.
