Harth & home

Schoffit 1997 Riesling Harth “Cuvée Prestige” (Alsace) – Windblown sand and dust, but old dust. Intense, with surprisingly good acidity (neither the site nor the year are exactly known for crispness), with tart melon rind dominated. The finish is sharply attenuated, and dries out rather quickly. And so, the wine ends up a little disappointing. (12/08)
