Lindenlaub Riesling

A 100% Riesling that masquerades as a smoky Chenin — and does so convincingly. Christophe Lindenlaub makes a completely glou glou Alsatian white that walks a tightrope of tension and balance, complexity and precision. Racy, aromatic and textural, with a backbone of linear acidity that lifts everything and keeps the wine in motion through the finish.

Alsace produces some of France’s most distinctive white wines, and Lindenlaub’s natural approach strips away the intervention to show what the variety and the terroir actually taste like. The result is a wine that is both immediately appealing and genuinely complex on closer examination.

Tasting Notes

Pale and aromatic. Notes of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit with a distinctive smoky mineral quality that suggests Chenin but reveals itself as Riesling. Linear acidity, racy and pure. Very easy to drink and hard to put down.

Food Pairing

Alsatian classics (choucroute, tarte flambée, baeckeoffe), grilled fish, spiced dishes, Thai food. Riesling’s acidity makes it one of the most food-versatile wines in existence.
