Alsace Riesling Bio Schieferkopf Lieu-dit Fels 2017

Located in the town of Bernardvillé, just a few steps from one of the paths to Santiago de Compostela, the vineyards on this plot are planted in the only vein of blue schist in Alsace, a very unique subsoil dating back to the Precambrian (more than 542 million years).

The soil of this plot, which is shallow (20-30 cm), has the particularity of enhancing the beautiful minerality of the wine. The steepness of its hillside (30% gradient), its south-eastern orientation and its very windy microclimate give Lieu-dit Fels its elegant, mineral and tense character.
