Domaine Schlumberger's 2018 Riesling Les Princes Abbés originates from the sun-drenched hills of Guebwiller, Alsace, where the Schlumberger family has cultivated vineyards for over two centuries. This label, dedicated to the ancient prince-abbots who promoted viticulture in the area, represents a refined and authentic interpretation of Alsatian Riesling.
In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow color with greenish reflections.
On the nose, it expresses fresh and vibrant aromas of citrus, white peach, and green apple, accompanied by floral notes and an elegant minerality that evokes the granitic terroir.
On the palate, it is taut and linear, with lively acidity and a balanced structure that gives impetus to the sip. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, with citrus and mineral undertones.
An elegant and versatile Riesling, ideal for pairing with seafood, shellfish, fish dishes, and spicy Asian cuisine, but also perfect as a meditation wine for those who appreciate fresh and complex white wines.
