Alsace Grand Cru Wineck-Schlossberg Meyer-Fonné (Domaine) 2013

Since 1992 Felix Meyer has lead his family domaine to the top of the Alsace winemaking hierarchy. His Katzenhal domaine features the best of his numerous parcels and his Gewürztraminer is astoundingly good. There are also parcels of the little-known, but outstanding, Grand Cru Wineck-Schlossberg here, which produces great dry, fresh Rieslings and their range of Pinot Noir is also of the highest quality. This is an organically farmed domaine, producing perfectly balanced wines from one vintage to the next.

This is a great dry and chiselled Riesling from the Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru area. Just a few years in the cellar are enough to unveil the potential of this phenomenal Alsace white. Whilst it is somewhat austere when young, after 3–4 years aromas of grapefruit, bergamot and lime begin to emerge, signs that the wine has retained its perfectly balanced acidity.
