Alsace Clos Liebenberg Riesling•2016

Lime zest and citrus oil drive the nose of the 2016 Valentin Zusslin Alsace Clos Liebenberg Riesling, layered with ripe yellow stone fruit and a cool, stony edge. The palate is medium-bodied and creamy rather than razor-sharp, showing pure, tangy fruit, a subtle spicy lift and a firm mineral grip that keeps the finish long and saline. This vintage leans more on elegance and texture than sheer tension, offering both immediate pleasure and the structure to age gracefully.
