Sourced from old vines planted on steep volcanic slopes in Thann, this flagship Riesling combines remarkable concentration with exceptional freshness, producing a wine of outstanding complexity, structure and longevity. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as one of the estate’s finest recent releases, delivering both richness and remarkable tension. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003eThe nose is intensely expressive and precise, revealing layers of lemon zest, bergamot, tangerine and cumquat alongside distinctive notes of flint, smoke and wet stone. As the wine opens, subtle hints of iodine, white flowers and spice emerge, creating an aromatic profile that is both vibrant and profoundly mineral-driven. The volcanic terroir of Rangen is immediately evident through its smoky, saline character and remarkable aromatic purity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003eOn the palate, it is full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, with powerful concentration supported by razor-sharp acidity and intense mineral structure. Layers of citrus fruit, aromatic tangerine, lemon peel and stone fruits are framed by flinty minerality, saline tension and exceptional precision. Despite its richness and density, the wine remains focused and energetic, finishing long, dry and remarkably persistent with a distinctive salty edge that lingers for minutes. The combination of old-vine fruit, volcanic terroir and vibrant acidity creates a Riesling of exceptional depth and ageing potential. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"2521\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1769\" data-end=\"1772\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for serious Riesling collectors and lovers of great terroir-driven wines. Compared to classic Australian Riesling, this wine offers significantly greater texture, mineral complexity and structural depth while retaining exceptional freshness and precision. The volcanic character of Rangen gives it a distinctive smoky, saline signature that sets it apart from virtually any other Riesling in the world. While approachable with decanting, its true potential will emerge with further bottle age. Drink from now or cellar confidently for 20–40 years. Perfect with lobster, scallops, oysters, sashimi, roast pork, veal, rich seafood dishes or mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDomaine Schoffit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRiesling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wine More Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51302842302779,"sku":"SCH24RIESRANGEN","price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2022_Domaine_Schoffit_Riesling_Rangen_Grand_Cru_Clos_St_Th_obald.jpg?v=1780291468","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-domaine-schoffit-riesling-rangen-grand-cru-clos-st-theobald","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
