Domaine Roland Schmitt Glintzberg Riesling 2021
Yellow color with green reflections, bright and crystalline. On the nose, we find notes of ripe fruits: citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) and white-fleshed fruits (peach, grape).
The frame is subtle, deep, on a long and straight silhouette that rebounds on the freshness. The finish is marked by acidity and salinity, signature of the terroir. Young, it is the varietal side of the Riesling that dominates but the terroir intensifies with time and contributes to the balance of the wine.
This easy-drinking and accessible Riesling provides immediate pleasure and will be the ideal partner for your dinners with friends.

Domaine Roland Schmitt Glintzberg Riesling 2021
The Glintzberg vineyard butts up against the Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergbieten vineyard. The soils are identical with the only difference being that the Grand Cru vineyard is exposed more ideally to the southeast while the Glintzberg vineyard is exposed east. There are very few winemakers in Alsace who still produce classic dry riesling because off dry wines win blind tastings. Sweet wines, however, are not always what one wants with dinner.
The nose has some mineral notes as well as melons and citrus. The attack in the mouth is thoroughly refreshing with zesty minerality and good acidity. A firm mineral streak runs through to the end of a very long finish while the wine is coated with a nice rich texture.
