Riesling Grittermatte - Julien Meyer

The Riesling Grittermatte from the Alsace wine-growing region presents itself in the glass in a bright light yellow. Poured into a white wine glass, this Old World white wine reveals delightfully refined and complex aromas of apple, pear, peach and mirabelle, rounded off by mineral notes.

On the palate, Meyer Julien’s Riesling Grittermatte opens wonderfully dry, firm and aromatic. On the tongue, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an exceptionally crisp and light texture. The finish of this white wine from the Alsace wine-growing region ultimately impresses with a lovely lingering aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the gravel-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Riesling Grittermatte by Meyer Julien

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Riesling. Only the best grapes were harvested for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Meyer Julien. In Alsace, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on gravel soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.

Food recommendation for the Riesling Grittermatte by Meyer Julien

Enjoy this organic white wine from France ideally well chilled at 8–10°C as an accompanying wine to stir-fried vegetables with fish, pasta with fried sausage dumplings or asparagus salad with quinoa.
