Muré Riesling Calcaires Jaunes 2024
Muré Riesling Calcaires Jaunes is a pristine, certified organic white wine crafted from 100% Riesling grapes grown on the historic hillsides of Alsace, France. The winemaking family at Domaine Muré focuses on low-intervention organic viticulture, harvesting the grapes from the distinct yellow limestone soils of Rouffach. This unique terroir gives the wine its superb structural definition, which is preserved through careful fermentation in traditional large oak casks to enhance complexity while maintaining the absolute freshness of the fruit. Pale yellow in the glass, the wine opens with vibrant aromas of lemony citrus, white blossom, and a characteristic hint of stony minerality. On the palate, it is entirely dry and impeccably balanced, where a rich core of green apple and fresh lime zest is supported by a crisp, bright line of acidity that runs through to a clean, lingering finish. While its precision and clean profile make it a luxurious, refreshing white to pour and enjoy purely on its own at the weekend, it is also a classic companion for food. It pairs beautifully alongside fresh seafood platters, a simple grilled sea bass, or a traditional onion tart.
