2019 Domaines Schlumberger Saering Grand Cru Alsace Riesling

WSI94 JS93 Cinnamon, white pepper, green paprika, green apples and citrus. Medium-bodied and very taut and citrusy on the palate, this trades in bright acidity and steely apple crunch. Drink now.

Estate Notes: The robe is lemon yellow with light green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth. The nose is marked, pleasant and of good intensity. We perceive a dominant of citrus fruits and white flowers. The airing enhances these scents and reveals smoky, flinty notes and spices. The nose is open and has already a mineral hint. The perfect ripeness of the grapes expresses a splendid terroir profile. The onset in the mouth is fleshy and the alcoholic base full-bodied. Aromas are more austere, first dominated by mineral, then by citrus fruits, white flowers and spices. With its noble bitterness, this wine is made for decades.

Pairs beautifully with tempura calamari with crispy vegetables, an Asian-flavored salmon fillet, a lobster tail with citrus fruit, as well as a goat’s milk cheese.
