Description

Product description for Albert Mann Riesling Furstentum Grand Cru 2019 (bio)

About the wine

A 30-year-old Riesling on limestone and limestone gravel in the Principality of Kientzheim.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The nose of this Principality Grand Cru offers a delicate aroma of orange blossoms and linden blossoms, also a hint of pineapple and lemon, but above all, it exhibits stony and slightly earthy aspects. This still seems very restrained, but raises expectations.

Palate

On the palate, the Riesling is lively and salty. The light tannin is immediately noticeable, giving the wine grip and a pleasant texture. This is a silky, ripe yet zesty Riesling, combining the fruit of pineapple and ripe lemons with slightly tart aspects of orange peel and grapefruit. The finish is long, intensely aromatic, juicy and meaty.

The 2019 Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum stopped fermenting at 20 grams per liter of residual sugar at first, but it was made with malolactic fermentation, then racked and inoculated with the 2020 Furstentum yeasts, which led to a quick final fermentation down to six grams per liter of residual sugar and 14% stated alcohol. Bottled in February 2021, the 2019 wine shows a clear and intense, very elegant and complex bouquet with some discreet phenolic notes. Full-bodied, intense and powerful on the palate, this is a rich and tight but also refined and saline Furstentum with fine tannins and an intense, still youthful finish. A little bit closed today but promising. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
