Tasting Note:
Very attractive already, quite powerful nose. Full bodied wine with intensity,depth and beautiful mineral flavour. Rich, ripe acidity in the palate. Great personality and finesse.
Vinification Note:
The grapes are always picked by hand as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 3-4 weeks. The wine is vinified to complete dryness. It is not oak-aged as we believe that wood gives nothing to the wines, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. « Cuvée Frédéric Emile » Riesling needs 3 to 5 years to blossom and usually ages minimum 15 year.
