The story behind Oh Schist
Riesling is one of the great white grapes, and the dry styles made in the slate and schist soils of Germany and Alsace are prized for one thing above all: minerality. The grape keeps bright acidity, so it drinks crisp and clean with green apple, citrus and a stony finish rather than sweetness. It is a food wine first and a sipping wine second.
We stock Oh Schist Riesling in the shop here in Commack in very small quantity, one or two bottles at a time, so call ahead if you want to be sure it is on the shelf.
