Markus Schneider Riesling Alte Reben 2013 5,00 l

From Markus Schneider's vineyard in Ellerstadt, this 2013 Riesling draws character from aged vines that have accumulated considerable complexity over decades of cultivation. The wine exhibits the mineral precision and restrained elegance characteristic of Pfalz terroir, with its 12.5 percent alcohol suggesting a measured, food-friendly profile. A decade of bottle age has allowed the wine to develop layered aromatics and subtle honeyed notes beneath its fresh, linear structure. This vintage reward itself with duck confit or rich seafood preparations, where its acidity and textural refinement will provide essential counterpoint.
