- TASTING NOTE: “Good aromatic lift with smoky peach, apple and exotic tropical fruit characters on the nose and palate. The driest Gris we have tasted here yet still round and supple in texture, with wonderfully precise flavour. Great concentration and depth with a tiny residual sweetness in this ripe vintage. The rich texture and cleansing acid balance gives this wine great immediate appeal, yet it also has the structure and depth to age mid-term.” - Vintage and Vine, Importer
- ABOUT THE WINE: The fruit for this wine comes off 37-year-old, east-facing vines in the village of Hunawihr. 20% of the wine is aged in old neutral oak and 80% in stainless steel.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Mader domaine is a very small family-owned producer based in the picture-postcard village of Hunawihr, the next village to the south of Ribeauvillé. The domaine owns just over 10 hectares of vineyards, including prized holdings in the famous Grand Cru vineyards of Rosacker and Schlossberg. Jérôme Mader took over from his father in 2005 and immediately set about converting all his vineyards to organic viticulture, gaining certification from 2007. Jérôme was also an early adopter of screw caps and the entire range, with the odd exception, has been bottled under screw cap since 2009. Rieslings here are 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. The entire range of wines from the Mader family taste true to their grape varieties and vineyard origins and all represent fantastic value.
