Riesling Scherwiller

Riesling Scherwiller – the Mineral Radiance of Alsace

Riesling Scherwiller embodies all the authenticity and elegance of its terroir. This Alsace wine, produced from 25 to 35-year-old vines, is cultivated southeast of Scherwiller on the alluvial fan. Thanks to gravelly, silty-sandy soils, it expresses a unique minerality and complexity, typical of this appellation.

Classified as AOC Alsace communal and environmentally friendly, this Riesling comes from sustainable viticulture certified High Environmental Value (HVE). Consequently, it combines tradition, sustainability, and quality.

Tasting and Aromatic Profile of Riesling Scherwiller

From the first glance, Riesling Scherwiller captivates with its brilliant pale yellow color with golden reflections. Then, its bouquet reveals delicate aromas of citrus and ripe yellow fruits, which evolve over time into subtle and complex mineral notes.

On the palate, this wine offers a fresh and pleasant attack. Its crisp and fruity texture, balanced by a lemony finish, provides a lively and refined tasting experience. Ideally, serve it at a temperature of 8 to 10°C to fully enjoy its qualities. Moreover, it can be kept for 3 to 5 years, allowing it to further develop its aromatic richness.

Food and Wine Pairings

Thanks to its aromatic profile and minerality, Riesling Scherwiller pairs harmoniously with a wide variety of dishes:

• Shellfish and seafood: Oysters, shrimp, langoustines.
• Fish: Grilled, in sauce, or smoked.
• White meats and poultry: Roast chicken, veal cutlets.
