2004 Riesling, Belzbrunnen, Domaine Dirler-Cadé

Tucked up between Grands Crus Spiegel and Kessler on limestone rich soils, the Belzbrunnen vineyard shows great symmmetry: pure and racy lime aromas and flavours, well-balanced by 10 grams of residual sugar. This dry Riesling is consistently excellent and a lovely match with fish dishes.

Alsace Riesling remains a classic white wine style: its spine-tingling lime-stony purity couched in a firm structure, the perfect ingredients for a foodie-wine par excellence. Added to which the Dirlers hand-rear their wines organically and biodynamically, so even more reason to celebrate!
