Staff Pick Notes

I love Alsatian wines, and this bottle has all the typicity of Riesling grown in this region. In the rain shadow of the Vosges mountains, vines struggle; the more they struggle, the more concentrated wines they are capable of producing. The vines in Dirler-Cadé's 18 hectares of vineyards must really struggle, because this is as powerful of a dry Riesling as you'll find anywhere! Intense aromas of jasmine combine with that classic, rich Alsatian texture, and there's a noticeable mineral prickle that evokes wet stones. The long finish will have your mouth watering for your next gulp. Whether you're a Riesling lover or the grape hasn't historically been your jam, this bottle is sure to satisfy and intrigue.

They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...
