The 2023 Alea Riesling leads with roasted pineapple, green apples, hints of lychee and juniper, lemon oil and coriander. The fruit is a little quieter this year, but it's no less "present." It is a beautiful wine, fleshy and soft, but it still remains tethered to the tracks of very fine, very firm acidity. 12.5% alcohol. RP
The 2022 Alea is a landmark Grosset vintage: complex, taut, pure and balanced. The unique characteristics of the Alea vineyard site have been exquisitely captured by a European winemaking approach. It has pristine lemon lime aromatics which entice. These are enhanced by a mouth-puckering intense palate which exhibits both finesse and power and a long and satisfying, chalky finish.
