Catherine Riss De Gres ou de Force Riesling 2018
Regular price $59.00
From the sandstone (gréseux) and permeable, windy and airy, high slopes of Reichsfeld, comes this delightful Riesling. The 2015 was aged on the lees in barriques for 11 months, before bottling.
A tearaway producer that landed in 2012 after time elsewhere learning, though a family history ties Catherine Riss to the region of Alsace. Au naturale, holistic farming, organic, no additions.
Beautiful perfume all bright citrus, light floral characters, sea spray, oyster shell. Edgy and perky in the palate, mouth-watering, electric acidity with this light creaminess that says 'great texture' from the first sip - suppleness with amazing architecture through the wine. More oyster shell, some lime, light yeasty notes. Really exciting, individual expression, out of the box. - The Wine Front
