WINEMAKER: Etienne Loew
REGION: Alsace, FR
VARIETY: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic/Biodynamic
Muschelkalck Riesling comes from 3 vineyard parcels planted between 1967 and 2007, on a slope facing west. Much of the soils here are filled with fossil shells. Etienne Loew lets the grapes ferment for almost seven months. Very unusual among modern winemakers, but Etienne follows nature and allows the winter cold to virtually stop fermentation. Fermented through the winter and aged on lees until spring.
A concentrated Riesling, that is full of flint, the flint! Mon dieu! There are also swathes of lemon zest, a less fruitful core and one more surrounded by gentle florals - impeccable tension. Alsace Level 10. A great value introduction to the depth of character and quality of Loew wines.
