    The wine

    The Kottabe Riesling is a blend of the Herrenweg and Turckheim crus. The vines are grown according to organic and biodynamic methods in a gravely terroir which produces fine, aromatic and accessible wines. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation for between 1-4 months and are matured in either 100 year-old oak barrels or stainless steel vats. These two maturation repositories do not in fact imbibe the wine with any particular aroma, rather allowing the fruit to express all their nuanced flavour. This cuvée is striking for its limpid colour; citrus notes give way to a long lemony structure which pairs beautifully with salty, iodine-flavoured dishes.
