Dopff au Moulin Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Magnum 2018, 1,50 L

Anyone who loves Riesling should pay close attention to Alsace. Few other regions combine power, elegance and a strong sense of origin as impressively as the finest vineyards around Riquewihr. The Schoenenbourg Grand Cru site has been one of the region’s leading flagships for decades.

From the very first glance, it is clear that something special awaits. The colour is an intense straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, there is a captivating interplay of white peach, ripe stone fruit, floral notes and delicate hints of honey. This is complemented by the unmistakable limestone character of the terroir, which gives the Riesling its distinctive personality.

On the palate, this Alsatian wine shows remarkable depth and a beautifully creamy texture. Despite its power, it remains dry, precise and wonderfully harmonious. The ripe fruit is supported by lively acidity, while chalky nuances add tension and length. With a little air, the wine continues to open, revealing new layers and facets over time.

The magnum bottle is more than an eye-catching format. It allows for particularly slow ageing and makes this Grand Cru an ideal choice for special occasions or for those who enjoy leaving great Rieslings to develop in the cellar for several years. It pairs beautifully with fried fish, lobster, veal or mature mountain cheese. A Riesling with character, depth and genuine drinking pleasure.
