2020 Vignoble du Reveur Alsace Vibrations Riesling

From: Alsace, France Varietal: Riesling Tasting Notes: This aromatic wine is at once robust and nimble; an electric fusion of lime pith, lemon verbena, green apple, semi-dried pineapple, and wildflowers layers over a grippy base of chalky salinity. Pairing: Wonderful with cured fish and crab in many forms, and a great pairing with spicy dishes. Winemaking: Ten percent of the grapes used in this wine macerated on their skins for 10 days, while the rest sat in a foudre, waiting for a native ferment to take hold. After those 10 days, the macerated grapes were pressed and then blended back with the whole. The wine rested on lees in foudre for 1 year until bottling with light filtration and a minimum of sulfur.
