Wine Reviews

The 2022 Riesling Roche Granitique was harvested in the Brand Grand Cru. The nose is clear as a bell with a touch of smoke and a strafe of citrus, but essentially shy. The palate is clear, bright and shining, with a spectrum of plum, from greengage via Reine Claude to Mirabelle. This is fresh, wonderfully stony, zesty, streamlined and pervasive. It’s almost incisive, with just a touch of pepper on the finish and a lovely feel of grapefruit zest. (Bone-Dry)

A lightly fleshy, light- to medium-bodied white, with juicy acidity and a zesty underpinning enlivening well-knit flavors of honeyed apricot, mandarin orange peel, grated ginger and slate.

So effusive and vibrant, yet also blessed with great aromatic charm, this has a stunning combination of pineapple juiciness and smoky character. Then comes the very long, precise finish that’s so stony. From biodynamically grown grapes.

This well-cut white is light- to medium-bodied, with a minerally underpinning of smoky flint to the expressive range of nectarine, star fruit, pink grapefruit granita and cherry blossom flavors, framed by zesty acidity.

Sleek and very minerally, this is a dry riesling for fans of the grape, or anyone who just likes intensely mineral dry whites. Lots of smoke and flint with some dried lemon peel. Very long, quite steely finish that’s bursting with energy. From biodynamically grown grapes.
