Alsace Riesling Sélection De Grains Nobles
(Outstanding)
A light white wine from
Alsace
Summary
Hand harvested and thoroughly sorted botrytis-affected fruit, with a minimum sugar content of 276 g/L, undergoes a crushed fruit fermentation, usually in neutral vessels at mid-range white fermentation temperature, to ensure successful fermentation in the high sugar must. Pre-fermentation skin contact is common for additional aromas and texture but malolactic conversion is avoided. Maturation usually occurs in neutral vessels and subsequent bottle ageing is common.
