This 2015 Riesling from the Saumagen vineyard in Ellerstadt represents the mineral-driven expression characteristic of the Palatinate's finest terroirs. Markus Schneider's measured approach to vinification preserves the wine's essential tension between ripe stone fruit and crystalline acidity, with a restrained alcohol level of 12.5 percent allowing the vineyard's slate-influenced character to emerge with clarity. Nearly a decade in bottle has permitted the wine to develop subtle honeyed notes whilst maintaining its structural integrity. Serve at ten degrees alongside fresh shellfish, asparagus preparations, or aromatic cheeses to fully appreciate its refined complexity.
