Domaine Christian Binner 'Bombisch!' Riesling '23

A whimsical, hazy Alsatian Riesling from the enigmatic Christian Binner! Apples and white flowers on the nose, honey crisp apple, lemon peel, tropical fruits with a slightly briny, spritzy finish. A refreshing, relatively low-ABV Riesling, would be nice as an apéritif or with salumi, cheese, etc. Bombisch! “Bring a bottle to a friend’s house, it may look odd, cloudy, maybe even a bit orange… but the bottle will be empty in no time, thanks to its palatability and beautiful minerality!” Pineapple, passion fruit, white pepper, lemony acidity, roundness, saltiness: this wine has all it takes to be the perfect easy-drinking white for any occasion. Gsunt heit!, (= to your health!), as they say in Alsace. Winemaker’s note: “To put “Bombisch” on the palate is to put an easy wine with a very high degree of drinkability, on the fruity and salty side as we like them.” A true BOMB from Alsace! 100% Riesling, organically and biodynamically farmed sites in Ammerschwihr and Katzental. Part of the grapes comes from a vineyard that belongs to Christian’s friend and neighbor Laurent, a site that he and Christian have been farming together since 2020. Manual harvest, direct-press, spontaneous fermentation. 12 months of elevage in old oak barrels. Unfined, unfiltered, no sulfur added.
