Eva Fricke, Schlossberg Riesling Spatlese other_regionsThe 2024 Lorcher Schlossberg Riesling Sptlese is intense and savory on the nose with slate, crystalline, salty and delicate citrus notes. Juicy, sweet and spicy on the palate, with elegant tropical fruit and delicate acidity, this is a rather sweet but crystalline and salty Schlossberg Sptlese that already tastes seductive but will only gain complexity with bottle age. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025.

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (all clone 22)

It was bottled in July 2018

The 2022 Pinot Noir La Combe Verte was sourced from vineyards planted on both volcanic and sedimentary soils

Denis measuring

mouthfeel to the muscular yet refined middle weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm acid spine shaping the nicely persistent if linear finale
