2020 Geschickt Grand Cru 'Wineck-Schlossberg' Riesling — Food Pairing Guide

2020 Geschickt Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling — biodynamic natural white wine from Alsace, France

Food Pairing Guide

The 2020 Geschickt Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling is a wine of rare structural power — part skin-contact, part direct press, matured in amphora on the ancient granite slopes of Alsace. Its savoury grip, citrus tension, and mineral depth call for food that can match its intensity.

Occasion

This is a collector's wine built for focus and deep appreciation. Its structural power and granitic energy make it a spectacular choice for a milestone dinner where the food matches the intensity of the wine.

Food Pairings

  • Aromatic Thai or Indian curries with lemongrass and ginger

Tasting Story

The 2020 'Wineck-Schlossberg' is an invitation to taste Riesling in its most raw form. Because the Geschickt family uses skin maceration, the wine retains a savoury, tannic grip and a vibrant energy that conventional whites lack.

Producer Story

Aurélie and Arnaud Geschickt are masters of low-intervention winemaking, operating with a commitment to integrity that spans decades. By fostering a healthy, chemical-free ecosystem since 1998, they create wines that are living expressions of a specific place and time.

Serving Tip

Serve at 12–14°C. Avoid serving this wine ice-cold — the cold will lock the tannins and mute the exotic Grand Cru aromatics.
