LardotRiesling “Schiefer” 2022 (750ml)

The 2022 ‘Schiefer’ is Lardot’s basic interpretation of Mosel Riesling grown on slate soils. A wine both of the Mosel and somehow sorta post-Mosel. It has something of the high-toned citrus and riper stone fruit profile common to Mosel Riesling, with an added complexity and a more gauzy, satiny feel. Bone-dry yet not harsh or extreme at all, in fact it is incredibly stylish and well-balanced. You can read the reviews but honestly, you gotta just taste this damn wine.

From various different sites with 30-40 year old vines. Aged in used barrels for 14 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal so2 addition.
