2020 | Domaine Marcel Deiss Schoenenbourg | Alsace Grand Cru Rioja Baja - Oriental dark and austere side ofWhat an extraordinary and polarizing expression of the great Schoenenbourg site. The interplay of the floral honey and dark earthy character of this wine is off the scale. This great masterpiece of Alsace white wine stubbornly refuses to conform to the simple categories of dry and off dry white wine. In the finish the richness and salty minerality collide. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 99 Pts James Suckling
