"Its gray slate terroir gives it its name, 'Tonschiefer,' and lends it an explosive minerality!"
" Mainly sourced from Leistenberg, the RieslingTrocken Tonschiefer 2024 is pure and intense, with a concentrated, aromatic nose reminiscent of crushed blue slate and salt. It is fascinating and represents an exceptional terroir that has always been one of my favorites when it comes to Rieslings that are easy to drink yet complex and unique. Rich yet light, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dense and long-lasting dry Riesling, quite powerful, with a long, aromatic, intense and seriously structured finish. The acidity is electric, but focused on ripe, textured fruit. [...] 2025-2040." (Robert Parker 2025) • Screw cap

About wine:
A mineral and smoky attack intertwines with subtle notes of fresh orange and yellow fruit. Concentrated and confident, with deep, mineral shoulders supported by atight, salty core. Its intensityhas a captivating raw and wild side, the untamed power of a great vintage in its early stages. All the more surprising given the delicate acidity of the citrus fruits in the lingering finish. A convincing testament to the aging potential of great terroirs, even in difficult vintages. 2025-2033

About wine:
Very fresh and lemony, with lots of aromatic herb aromas, this dry Riesling is very elegant and concentrated, with a slightly medium body. Very lively finish with notes of aromatic herbs and green apple. Drink now or keep. Screw cap.

About wine:
Delicate and subtle, the bouquet of Tonschiefer reveals its characteristic minerality as well as notes of yellow fruit. On the palate, the wine has dimension and tension. With excellent definition, it benefits from the incisive contribution of its structure, which lends it salinity, energy, and light! A convincing and exciting wine. Now–2038

About wine:
A delicately spicy nose, with notes of slate and dried lemon peel, still relatively closed. Minerality dominates on the palate, with a very elegant acidity that extends throughout the structure, promising a wealth of nuances to come.
