About this wine
This Riesling also includes about 10% of Grand Cru grapes that didn't make the cut, sourced from 30-year-old vines in the renowned Rosacker vineyard. It's a mix of various sites with predominantly limestone soil, resulting in a 2021 vintage that boasts a rich, dry texture and complexity. With vibrant floral and zesty citrus scents, complemented by a mineral undertone and a delightful acid finish, this wine is sure to please.

Producer: Mader
The Mader domaine is a very small quantity, high quality wine producer based in the picture postcard village of Hunawihr just south of Ribeauville. The family own just over 10 hectares of vineyards, including prized holdings of vines in the famous ‘Rosacker’ Grand Cru vineyard and also now in the Grand cru Schlossberg. All vineyard work is carried out by hand and since 2005 their son Jerome is now running the estate having studied and gained a Diploma in Oenology. Since returning to the family estate Jerome has also converted all their vineyards to organic viticulture (certified organic since 2007).
Rieslings here are some of the few in Alsace produced in a classic fine dry style built to age. In exceptional years a tiny volume of late harvest ‘Vendanges Tardive’ Riesling is made in a similar fine, elegant style that ages superbly. Jerome is fanatical about quality so yields are kept very low and selections for all wines are extremely strict ensuring the highest quality in every bottle. The entire range of wines from the Mader family taste true to their grape varieties and vineyard origins and all represent fantastic value.
