Philip Lardot Riesling "Schiefer" 2022

Philip Lardot Riesling "Schiefer" 2022The 2022 Schiefer is Lardots basic interpretation of Mosel Riesling grown on slate soils. A wine both of the Mosel and somehow sorta post Mosel. It has something of the high toned citrus and riper stone fruit profile common to Mosel Riesling, with an added complexity and a more gauzy, satiny feel. Bone dry yet not harsh or extreme at all, in fact it is incredibly stylish and well balanced. You can read the reviews but honestly, you gotta just taste
