Icarus 2021

“A Special Wonder” AOC Alsace, France

£27.00 a bottle 

In stock

Riesling orange wines are surprisingly hard to come by considering that this variety is quite common in Alsace and Germany; maybe because they are so well recognised as white wines? In any event, we are extremely pleased that Vincent Stoeffler decided to release Icarus in his growing selection of orange wines. Icarus 2021 is an exceptional wine in more than one way; a relatively short, whole-berry maceration of 8 days in Amphora produces a a serious yet extremely drinkable wine. Concentrated and rich on the palate, exuding flavours of green apples and pears with a touch of citrus and rose. Serve chilled but not very cold (10-12c, about 30 -40 minutes in the fridge), and open 10-15 minutes before opening. If you have a decanter or a carafe, dont hesitate to use them. Do so in thirds (as opposed to the entire bottle at once). A mere few hundreds of the beauty were made. Excellent ageing potential.
