{"product_id":"2023-mader-riesling","title":"2023 Mader Riesling","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"601\"\u003eThe 2023 Domaine Mader Riesling is a beautifully precise dry Alsace Riesling from one of the region’s most respected small organic producers. Based in the village of Hunawihr, Domaine Mader has built a strong reputation for crafting terroir-driven wines with remarkable purity, freshness and mineral tension. The 2023 Riesling includes fruit from several limestone-based vineyard parcels, including around 10% declassified Grand Cru Rosacker fruit from vines approximately 30 years old, adding extra depth and complexity to the blend. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"1101\"\u003eThe nose is intensely aromatic and refined, showing lime zest, grapefruit and citrus blossom layered with wet stone, white flowers and subtle smoky minerality. The 2023 vintage delivered excellent balance between fruit concentration and freshness, producing a wine with impressive precision and energy. Critics and merchants have highlighted its floral lift, citrus purity and strong mineral backbone, hallmarks of both the vintage and the Mader house style. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a beautifully focused structure. Lemon, green apple and citrus notes are supported by chalky minerality and saline freshness, leading to a long, dry and penetrating finish. Vinified with natural yeast fermentation and aged on fine lees, the wine combines texture and depth with remarkable tension and clarity. The limestone-rich soils and low residual sugar (around 1.1g\/L) reinforce its distinctly dry, gastronomic style. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"2010\"\u003eDomaine Mader’s Rieslings are among the few Alsace examples produced in a truly classic dry style built for ageing. Organic farming, low yields and meticulous vineyard work contribute to the wine’s precision and terroir transparency, while Jérôme Mader’s focus on quality has established the estate as one of Alsace’s standout small producers. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2744\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2037\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2037\" data-end=\"2040\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value dry Alsace Rieslings for customers who love mineral-driven whites. Compared to German Riesling, it’s drier, broader and more savoury; compared to Australian Riesling, it offers slightly more texture and layered complexity while retaining vibrant freshness. The inclusion of declassified Grand Cru fruit gives the wine extra depth far beyond its price point. The 2023 vintage is especially attractive because it combines immediate drinkability with serious structure and ageing potential. Drink now or cellar comfortably for 8–12+ years. Perfect with oysters, sashimi, seafood, pork dishes or refined Asian cuisine.\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;\"\u003eMader\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;\"\u003e2023\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":51285526675771,"sku":"MAD23RIESLING","price":43.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2023_Mader_Riesling.jpg?v=1780045209","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2023-mader-riesling","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
