Domaine Trapet Beblenheim Riesling 2014
Domaine Trapet's Riesling Beblenheim is grown on the estate's own vineyards originally planted by Andrée’s grandparents, on the Burgraben (castle vine) and the Hagenschlauf, two chalky soils that give the young Rieslings their pretty floral lemony notes. With age, the mineral content is enhanced and the wine acquires a smooth sweet note. Domaine Trapet's Beblenheim Riesling has rich lime, peach and pear notes, floral hints and a slightly petrolly aroma. The palate is equally impressive, with very good acidity balancing nicely the fuller body of this wine. There are crisp stone fruits, sharp citrus and lime peel and a lovely minerality throughout. The finish is long and satisfying.
