Frey-Sohler - Alsace Instant Douceur Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles (liquoreux) 2015
2*Étoiles
Hachette
“A winemaker often recognized for his late-harvest wines. This year’s straw-yellow ‘grains nobles’ selection successfully balances power and elegance. On the nose, quince and candied apricot, with citrus zest. This complex and rich fruitiness carries through to a very concentrated, full-bodied, and generous palate, refined by a fresh, briny finish with hints of lime. Already harmonious, this 2015 will improve with age.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About the wine:
A winemaker frequently recognized for his late-harvest wines. This year’s selection of noble, straw-yellow grapes strikes a perfect balance between power and elegance. On the nose, quince and candied apricot, with hints of citrus zest. This complex and rich fruitiness carries over to a very concentrated, full-bodied, and generous palate, refined by a fresh, briny finish with notes of lime. Already harmonious, this 2015 will improve with age.
About the estate:
Based in Scherwiller, near Sélestat, Damien—joined by his daughter Aude—has been running a 16-hectare estate since 1998, supplementing its production with a wine trading business. Their vineyards are spread across three terroirs, including Frankstein, a granite-based grand cru located around the neighboring village of Dambach-la-Ville.
