This is the first Riesling I have come across in the Loire. This light gold 2021 En Paradis Riesling, labelled as IGP Urfé, has attractive peach and apricot notes, a vibrant texture, and zinging acidity. It’s a youthful wine, well balanced with a long finish. It will be interesting to see how well it will age. The vines are on granite and the grapes were hand harvested. Fermentation was in concrete tanks using native yeasts and then matured in a mix of wood and concrete. As this Riesling shows, producers in the Côte Roannaise use an interesting range of white grapes in addition to their reds. The dynamic Romain Paire is in charge of this very long established domaine, which has been organic since 2005 and biodynamic from 2010.
