The 2019 Albert Mann Riesling Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives is a testament to Alsace's sweet wine prowess, crafted from a biodynamic, Demeter-certified estate where late harvests only occur in ideal vintages. The vines, rooted in sandy limestone and sedimentary soils, yield a wine of remarkable elegance and aging potential. This radiant golden-yellow wine presents a subtly tart nose of lime, grapefruit, apricot, and orange marmalade, evolving with aeration to reveal chalky mineral notes. The palate is intensely sweet yet beautifully balanced by vibrant, fresh acidity, delicate spice, and compact minerality, offering a cool, filigree, and refreshing experience without any heaviness. It's a full-bodied wine with rich aromas of candied fruits, citrus, honey, ginger, and bergamot, maintaining purity and freshness. 【A super-succulent Riesling with dangerously energetic acidity that makes it feel drier and lighter than it really is.】 This fabulous bottle is perfect for grand occasions and moments of pure emotion. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include lemon tart with meringue and mint, caramelized pork fillet in a sweet-sour-spicy glaze with pak choi, or mini artichokes with blood orange chutney. It also harmonizes beautifully with lobster, foie gras, cheese platters, and various fruit-based desserts. 🥂 This elegant and invigorating sweet wine, with its great aging potential, is ideal for celebratory dinners, special anniversaries, or as a sophisticated digestif.
