Why shop with us?
Domaine Gugenberger’s 2025 Riesling Calcaire is a crisp, precise Alsace Riesling shaped by the limestone soils behind its name. Rather than leaning on broad, exuberant fruit, it puts freshness, lively acidity and a distinctly stony, lightly saline character in the foreground.
Tasting Notes
Pale and bright in the glass, it opens with a cool, restrained nose of lemon, lime and green apple, followed by white peach. With a little air, delicate floral and herbal notes emerge alongside a stony mineral impression.
The palate is direct and lively, with citrus-led fruit, fresh acidity and a subtle, gently gripping texture. The finish brings lemon zest, pale peach and a fine saline note. Still youthful, the 2025 vintage is best enjoyed for its primary fruit and energy now, though some bottle age should bring greater harmony and complexity.
Production
The wine comes from limestone-rich soils in Alsace, a setting that can lend Riesling a taut structure and mineral tension. The stated winemaking aim is to let the terroir show without overwhelming the fruit. Harvesting methods and specific vinification details are not provided.
Food & Serving
Its citrus freshness and mineral edge make it a natural match for oysters, mussels, sushi and sashimi, as well as pan-fried char, zander or trout. Try it with goat’s cheese, asparagus or vegetable dishes seasoned with fresh herbs, too. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; a brief spell in the glass can help its more subtle aromas unfold.
