Dagobert Riesling Racines & Terroirs is an affordable but worthy representative of both Alsace and riesling. It has a nice regional character and a slight petroleum note, which in the right amounts is a nice thing about riesling.
Cave du Roi Dagobert is a well-functioning and modern cooperative with close relations to the cooperative in Türckheim, respected for its high level of quality at prices that are only slightly above the entry level.
The nose is elegantly composed of; citrus fruits, golden delicious apples and a little pear. There is both purity and length that go beyond the wine’s reasonable price.
Racines & Terrois Riesling can be enjoyed as an aperitif/thirst quencher, but it is also lovely with a prawn dish, with the not too fat dishes with fish and shellfish, with Far Eastern food with chilli/ginger. If you are a particular alsacophile, you will also know that it goes excellently with choucroute garnie (sauerkraut and several types of pork).
We recommend a serving temperature in the bed of 8-11°.
