Product description for Albert Mann Riesling Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru AC 2020

Wine Information

This is the second vintage of this Grand Cru from Wineck-Schlossberg. The first vintage was only sold in magnums and was very rare. The vineyard covers 27.49 hectares in the municipalities of Katzenthal and Ammerschwihr. It rises from 280 to 400 meters. The south-southeast-facing site, with its granite-rich soils, lies in the hollow of a closed, wind-protected valley. The vines date from 1957, 1966, and 1974. They are still in the transition phase to organic and biodynamic certification, as the owner previously farmed the vineyard “only” organically.

Colour

Light straw yellow

Nose

The Riesling from Wineck-Schlossberg is a delicate, fine, almost ethereal wine. It smells of ripe Riesling with a hint of nutmeg, of ripe yet mellow apples and yellow pears, of blossoms, herbs, and a hint of salted lemon. Above all, however, one has the impression of holding something very fine in the glass.

Palate

This impression is confirmed on the palate, where the wine remains just as delicate but gains in intensity. Above all, the granite of the soil brings a crystalline, vibrant, and incomparable acid structure and minerality to the wine that distinguishes it from all other Mann Rieslings. This is pure energy, but not sharp, not austere, not cutting, but fine, elegant, and almost silky. This Riesling is a remarkably beautiful addition to the portfolio.
