Stunning nose of Amalfi lemon, yellow peach and mirabelle. Very straight and sleek, with serious stony minerality and enough creaminess wrapped around this to prevent the wine from feeling austere at any point. Spot-on balance through the very long and linear finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

In 1975, Schlossberg was the first Alsace vineyard to be declared a Grand Cru. The granite hill faces directly south, and nightly breezes cool the vineyard as air is funneled up and down the narrow valley. It is almost all terraced as it is extremely steep and is one of the greatest sites in Alsace for Riesling and the stony soils make for good drainage.
Schlossberg lies above the commune of Kayserberg and is composed of a type of grey granite with a southern aspect. It is almost all terraced as it is extremely steep and is one of the greatest sites in Alsace for Riesling. Notes: 11 g/l – rs.
A lovely and attention-getting nose of fresh lime wreathed in lavender, thyme, buddleia and lemon from the Albert Mann Schlossberg Riesling leads to a bright, polished and correspondingly complex and alluring palate. This is a gloriously refreshing organic Alsace wine, with flavours of fennel, grapefruit and honeydew melon.The dry finish shimmers in its suggestion of crystallized mineral impingement and fruit-flower-herb interaction, with a pungent suffusion of green tea, undertone of wet stone and saliva-drawing acidity adding to the impressive appeal now and no doubt through at least 2035.
