TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

The colour is lemon yellow with light green reflections, of medium intensity. The disc is shiny, limpid and transparent. The wine presents youth.

AROMA

The nose is frank, pleasant and of great intensity. We perceive a dominant of fruity scents, citrus fruits, zest of yuzu, lemon and star fruit. Aeration amplifies these smells and reveals coconut milk, white flowers and spices, grated ginger. The perfect quality of the grapes translates a racy odour profile, refreshing to perfection.

PALATE

The attack on the palate is slender, the alcohol support balanced. We evolve on an incisive medium, marked by pearling. We find the range of aromas of the nose, focused on citrus fruits, lemon zest, yuzu, star fruit, coconut milk, white flowers and spices, ginger. We feel a hint of firm bitterness. The finish presents a great length, 11-12 caudalies, as well as a frank liveliness and a persistent bitterness. The balance is tense, structured by great mineral bitterness. The range of aromas provides great pleasure. Great Riesling in the making.

VINIFICATION

The grapes are handpicked and whole bunches are pressed. There is static settling of the lees. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled tuns, followed by rising on the less for 8 months.

REGION NOTES

To the north of Guebwiller, Saering faces east and southeast at an altitude of 260 to 300m. Saering ‘marl/limestone/sandstone terroir brings out the best in this magnificent, fine, delicate Riesling.

FOOD MATCHING
