Country: France / Alsace
Variety: Riesling
Winery: Domaine Schoffit / Rangen de Thann Grand Cru Clos Saint-Théobald
Hugely ripe, this is a dense and potentially intense wine. Its high alcohol brings out a disturbing pepper character that spoils the purity of the rich fruits and mineral texture. It shows the heat of the volcanic soil of Ragen de Thann Grand Cru in its rich fruits and ripe structure. It does need aging, so drink from 2017.
