Rolly Gassmann Riesling 2019

Expertly crafted by Domaine Rolly Gassmann, this bright lemon Riesling delivers a refreshing bouquet of white and yellow flowers, perfectly balanced with fresh citrus flavours. With its concentrated and complex palate, accented by stone fruit and a touch of salinity, this is a must-try wine for Riesling lovers and with the Rolly Gassmann touch should age gracefully for a few years yet.

About the Producer:
While the winemaking history of the Rolly and Gassmann families in Alsace can be traced back to the 17th century, the Domaine was not established until 1967 when these two families were joined by marriage. Now run by second generation Pierre Gassmann, the domaine boasts 52 hectares in the Haut-Rhin region, 40 of which are in Rorschwihr and 10 in Bergheim. The family is known for their remarkable collection of vintages; they age and store up to five years’ worth of stock - around 1.5 million bottles - and only release wines that they feel are ready to drink. This particular vision led Pierre to create an impressive new winery, completed in 2019 and nicknamed ‘The Cathedral’ by the locals. This six-tier, state-of-theart construction, built into the hillside, has brought their gravity-fed vinification facilities, cellar and panoramic tasting-room under one roof.
