Chateau de Riquewihr Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Dopff & Irion 2023

Chateau De Riquewihr Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, Dopff & Irion, Alsace, France 2023  

Grape: 100% Riesling, harvested by hand, on fine lees for four months with nine further months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.  

Producer Tasting Note:

A dry grand cru Riesling from Alsace. A bright, brilliant intense gold colour. On the nose, intense, complex apricot fruits, yellow and white fruits, fine curry and saffron spices, ginger and candied zest, and a note of incense. An ample and chiselled palate that is harmonious yet lively and spicy on the finish.  

Critical Acclaim:

"Does Alsace edge past Germany when it comes to Riesling? Well, judge for yourself, with the 2023 Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, a fabulous take on this most noble of all grape varieties. Fresh, pure, focused, concentrated, spicy, citrusy and expressive, it's a great wine."

Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine, May 2025

Also awarded SILVER, MUNDUS VINI Spring Tasting, 2025

Food Match: This wine has the potential to age for 10-15 years and is a great pairing for chicken flavoured with ginger, freshwater fish in a creamy curry sauce and also goes well with Swiss and blue cheeses.
