Media Reviews

Stephan Reinhardt

A lemon-fresh, white-golden color is the robe of the 2013 Riesling Calcaire, which was picked healthy, and fermented to dry including almost eight grams of residual sugar. The wine opens with a pure, elegant and smoky aroma of lime (stones), though it is still a little bit untamed and reductive on the first nose (like some wines from the village of Calce in the Roussillon can be; think of Matassa or l`Horizon); it should therefore be served in bigger glasses or from the carafe. On the palate, a grasping acidity and mineral structure take over and take this still somewhat closed wine to a promising finish. I would gives it another two or three years to become more open and relaxed. 89 points
