In the United States, Riesling is often associated with sweet wine. Not so with this excellent, bone-dry bottle.
Are you looking for a ferociously dry white wine that will make your palate sit up and take notice? One whose piercing scent and lingering finish will shine a spotlight on your food and make anything you serve taste better than it did a moment before? Look no further than this spectacular, bone-dry riesling from one of the very best vintners of Alsace in northern France.
In the United States, riesling is often pigeonholed as a sweet wine – particularly when it comes in the tall, fluted bottles associated with German wines. This happens in part because so few other grapes can make sweet wines as well as riesling can, but this has led American wine drinkers to overlook and undervalue dry Rieslings.
Alsace is a small region of northeastern France that is home to the city of Strasbourg and famous for its cool-climate wines. Bounded by the Rhine river to the east, which serves as the modern frontier between France and Germany, and the Vosges mountains to the west that separate Alsace from neighboring Lorraine, the region has been hotly contested territory for over 500 years, changing hands many times, which explains the region’s blend of German and French cultural heritage.
