Riesling Lieu-dit Fels Schieferkopf - Chapoutier 2017

The wine

Produced from a terroir of blue schist, this Riesling was vinified in traditional Alsatian barrels, undergoing malolactic fermentation and a 15-month élevage in barrels. This golden wine has an aromatic bouquet brimming with minerality and citrus fruits. It is characterised by its tension, elegance and long saline finish; an excellent pairing for seafoods.

About the Producer Schieferkopf - Chapoutier

As hard as it is to believe, the great Rhône master, Michel Chapoutier, has set his sights on Alsace. Passionate about the mineral, terroir-driven wines produced in the Rhine with their distinct regional varieties, he and four fellow Rhin loving friends acquired this domaine in 2009. Their first biodynamic vintage entered the Alsatian winemaking history books in 2011, bearing the name Schieferkopf.
