Pierre Frick
Steinert Riesling 2017
From the vineyards of Steinert, by the German border of France, Riesling is hand harvested and spontaneously fermented in oak after skin contact of about 6 days. Marked by aromatic notes of ripe white fruit, white florals, and sweetness. Medium body with a long finish, this vivid wine has good acidity and balanced tannins. Impressive and elegant, bright but bold, striking but gluggable. Cool enough for the beanie wearing crowd but elegant enough for the titas.
