Schieferkopf ‘Lieu-dit-Fels’ 2018 Size::1 Bottle toasty brioche notes and refreshingThis noble Alsatian Riesling is grown on blue schist soil and the grapes undergo a relatively long pressing before fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The domaine then favours a partial malolactic fermentation before maturing for 10 months in large casks on fine lees.
