Bliemerose Riesling 2017

This Alsace Riesling shows contrasting opinions - some praise its vibrant acidity, citrus/petrol notes, and balanced structure, while others criticize oxidation and heaviness. While younger vintages display crisp minerality, older bottles are described as over-the-hill with muted flavors.

The Bliemerose Riesling presents a luminous pale straw hue, setting the stage for its aromatic complexity. The nose is a harmonious blend of ripe stone fruits, particularly white peach and apricot, interwoven with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and a subtle minerality reminiscent of wet slate. On the palate, it showcases a precise balance of vibrant acidity and a whisper of residual sugar, enhancing its medium-bodied texture. The finish is elegantly elongated, with a lingering citrus zest and a hint of white pepper spice. This Riesling exemplifies the finesse and clarity typical of its terroir.
