with few pebbles

Showing well now

yet mineral palate with lots of nectarine and stone fruit and long lees aging complexity

It has aromas of brambleberry and cherry with floral notes of lilac and violets and understated hints of cola and cinnamon

tannin and palate persistence round out this French gem

Garagiste Côtier Riesling 2017 stags-leap-wine-cellars with few pebblesFrom Red Hill vines planted in sand over brown loam; 100% whole bunch fermentation for 23 days; maturation in old oak for 9 months; bottled unfined and with only minimal sulphur. The nose is bright with clean citrus and yellow plum notes and hint of kero. In the mouth the wine is really vibrant, savoury and powdery, reminding one of our tasters of a Pfalz Riesling on steroids! A lovely wine that will be even better with food.
