Muller-Koeberlé Langenberg Riesling 2020
If you are looking for a Riesling wine that combines elegance and complexity, you might want to try Muller-Koeberlé Langenberg Riesling 2020.
With deep golden yellow colour, amber reflections and a fine haze, as the wine is bottled without filtration and fining; the nose is fragrant with delicate peach and apricot aromas that are remarkably vibrant.
The palate is full and bright with a lively core brimming with candied citrus fruit and bergamot.
The wine is aged in oak barrels for 24 months, adding subtle nuances of sun dried nuts and spice; stretching from clove and cinnamon to a whiff of smoke.
Coming from a vineyard that has a granitic substratum soil* and a south exposure, which gives the wine an overwhelming mineral and saline personality.
The wine has a moderate alcohol level of 13%, a bracing acidity that balances the dry style of wine and makes it versatile and food-friendly.
Definitely ready to drink now but can surely age well, which makes it a great choice for collectors and enthusiasts.
Langenberg Riesling is a wine that showcases the best of Alsace Riesling, with its dry, elegant and refined style.
*Granitic substratum soil is a type of soil that is formed from the weathering and decomposition of granite rocks. That means it drains well and does not retain too much water or nutrients. A lot of hard work for vine roots, resulting in low-yield but high quality of fruit, high acidity and mineral and aromatic character of wines.
