Wine Reviews
There’s density to this simmering, unctuous white. Creamy and rich in feel, offering mandarin and peach layered with finely crushed mineral notes. Pink grapefruit acidity cuts through, with a smoky flourish on the long, ripe and pleasingly bitter finish.
This wine smells like autumn. Intense aromas of apple and freshly cut oak rise from the glass. On the palate, baking apples are tempered by a pleasantly bitter, stemmy edge. Cinnamon and vanilla close out on a long finish. This is a great example of oak being present and vibrant but not dominating an otherwise delicate wine. Pair it with poultry, a stew or just a wood fire for the ambience.
What an expansive and complex smoky, flinty nose this very energetic dry riesling has. Serious tannin structure, but the wine really needs and benefits from that. Terrific flinty drive in the extremely long, focused finish. Limited production, entirely from the Grand Cru Rangen.
