Riesling Wine 2017 Clos des Fous Pour Ma Guele [JS91]

Discover an Unconventional Chilean Gem: 2017 Clos des Fous Itata Riesling

Experience a dry Riesling that defies expectations. Awarded 91 Points by James Suckling, this unique Chilean white wine presents “a juicy and strikingly original” profile, featuring enticing melon and ripe-apple character beautifully supported by a subtle touch of tannin – a signature twist for immediate enjoyment.

Crafted from 100% hand-harvested Riesling grapes sourced exclusively from a single vineyard in Chile’s cool Itata Valley, this wine offers remarkable complexity. The captivating nose unfolds layers of zesty orange peel, fragrant lemon balm, delicate lavender, and ripe apricot.

On the palate, discover its true charm: an intriguing interplay of vibrant acidity and a pleasing hint of viscosity creates a textured mouthfeel. Notes reminiscent of Fruity Pebbles add playful depth, enhanced by just a whisper of residual sugar that amplifies the wine’s richness without overwhelming its dry nature. This minerality-driven Riesling delivers exceptional varietal expression and outstanding value.

Perfectly balanced at 13.9% alcohol, this food-friendly white wine shines alongside seafood dishes, spicy Asian cuisine, or soft cheeses. Its electric vibrancy and distinctive structure set it apart from typical Rieslings.

Unearth the authentic taste of Itata terroir in every glass – a sophisticated yet approachable choice for enthusiasts seeking character and quality.
