Schieferkopf – Riesling Via Saint-Jacques 2012 – Alsace

The nose is fresh, fruity and offers a slight richness (in the background). It reveals notes of mirabelle, ripe lemon and hints of apple associated with a subtle hint of beeswax, yellow fruits, dried grape and a very discreet hint of hay. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built, precise and offers a beautiful roundness, a beautiful fat, dynamism, a good volume, a beautiful minerality as well as an acid frame. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, dried orange zests and small notes of juicy peach associated with slight touches of yellow fruits as well as a subtle hint of racy minerality and small dry fruits on the finish. Good length.
