Charles Schleret Riesling Herrenweg, Alsace, France

點擊次數(shù)：4084

Precision, minerals, and exquisite delineation are displayed in the 1993 Riesling Herrenweg that offers a beautifully-scented, mineral, apple, and floral nose, medium body, and subtle but powerful flavors. This glorious dry Riesling should drink well for up to a decade. Charles Schleret may not be as well known as Zind-Humbrecht or Domaine Weinbach, but like several other low profile, great Alsatian wine producers (Bernard Schoffit, Albert Mann, Marcel Deiss, Albert Boxler, and E. Burn to name a few), Schleret consistently produces brilliant wines. It continues to be a source of personal frustration that the great white wines of Alsace are largely ignored by American wine consumers. I have frequently served these wines blind to discerning guests, and the oohs and aahs heard would suggest they would be rushing off to buy these wines by the case. But once the identity is revealed, Alsace's lack of "prestige value" compels these people to throw away their money on something else.Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Shekomeko, NY; tel.
