The Mader domaine is a very small family-owned producer based in the picture-postcard village of Hunawihr, the next village to the south of Ribeauvillé. The domaine owns just over 10 hectares of vineyards, including prized holdings in the famous Grand Cru vineyards of Rosacker and Schlossberg.
This wine also contains almost 10% de-classified Grand Cru fruit from vines around 30 years old in the great Rosacker vineyard. The wine is a blend of several sites of mostly limestone based soil from vines of 20-50 years old. All parcels are harvested and vinified separately with the final blend being made just before bottling. Whole bunch pressed and aged on fine lees for 6 months before bottling. 2023 has produced a fine dry Riesling with texture and depth. Intense floral and citrus aromas with mineral backing and wonderful acid backbone.
