Marcel Deiss Schoffweg 2020

Baked pear, warm earth and a creamy richness define the nose of this Riesling-Pinot Gris-Muscat field blend from Jurassic limestone soils neighboring Altenberg grand cru. The palate tightens things up considerably, freshness and a phenolic backbone cut through the generosity, lending real definition. The finish is the revelation: a deep, savoury umami quality that calls to mind aged Champagne. Bone-dry and outstanding.
