Schieferkopf

Alsatian Riesling from distinct vineyard sites, rated by Wine Spectator.

Schieferkopf produces Riesling from Alsace, the northeastern French region celebrated for aromatic white wines of mineral precision and aging potential. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions: Via Saint Jacques Riesling, Lieu-dit Fels Riesling, and Lieu-dit Berg Riesling. Each captures the distinctive terroir of its site through the classic Alsatian lens—Riesling's floral and stone-fruit character shaped by soil and microclimate. Wine Spectator has rated these wines, with Via Saint Jacques earning particular recognition. The lieu-dit designations signal specific vineyard parcels, a practice rooted in Alsatian tradition that emphasizes place-based character. Riesling from this region ranges from dry to off-dry, offering versatility across food pairings and cellar longevity.
