Riesling Scherwiller 2021 Domaine Achillèè

Riesling Scherwiller is a white wine produced by Domaine Achillèe in Scherwillerm, Alsace, and obtained from pure Riesling grapes, harvested manually. These come from old vineyards located in very light, slightly clayey soil. Macerations lasting a few hours with spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts, aging for one year in steel. It is bottled without the addition of sulfur dioxide and does not require filtration or clarification. Riesling Scherwiller has a decidedly fragrant and mineral nose, especially fruity, with hints of citrus, peach and apricot, as well as dried fruit such as almonds and hazelnuts. In the mouth it is fresh and enveloping, savory and persistent, with a citrus and spicy finish. Perfect for Japanese cuisine, it has great aging potential

Yves Dietrich and his sons Pierre and Jean have created a true microcosm, unique and contagious.

Yves is responsible for the vineyard, Jean takes care of the cellar and Pierre takes care of the commercial part.

In 1991 Yves decided to take over the family farm, which he converted to organic in 1999 before the big leap into the biodynamic world in 2003.

In 2017, a bioclimatic cellar was created inside the largest thatched building in Europe, shared with the Domaine Jean Paul Schmitt.

The company has 18 hectares and the wines are precise and direct, engaging and clear.
