LardotRiesling 2023 (750ml)

The fomerly named ‘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.

Younger vines of 20-40 years old in the villages of Piesport, Sankt Aldegund and Zell. Aged in used barrels for 14 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal so2 addition.
