Lemon meringue, nutmeg, white pepper, orange blossom and just a touch of candied citrus. Very dry and steely, yet powerful and poised. Full-bodied, but incredibly taut and compacted. The wine somehow manages to caress the palate like silk, while remaining pointed like a pure crystal. Drink in 2021 or hold for a long time after that.
As far back as family memories go, the Schoelhammer, at the heart of the historic Schoenenbourg vineyard which overlooks Riquewihr, has always been amongst our most favoured single vineyards. From 2007 we decided that the Riesling from this exceptional site, traditionally vinified apart, also merited to be bottled separately. Schoelhammer seeks to reveal the unique character of a dry, mineral Riesling from a marl-rich terroir, deep and suave in style, and which takes time to express itself fully.
