Zind Humbrecht Riesling Brand G.C. 2024
DOZEN: $2,214.00 or $184.50 each
The 2024 Riesling Brand Grand Cru comes from this warm, well-drained granitic site, trembling with flintiness on the nose. The palate is wonderfully fluid and smooth, gliding with its compact, focused but powerful body, cutting a swathe of citrus and leaving a wonderful lemony savor on its clean-cut, pure finish. Grown on granite, from the Steinglitz parcel among others, it shows a slight reductive smokiness and a touch of tart red apple skin. The palate is immediately juicy and salty, with more of that red, tart apple, full of crunch and verve, thrilling and bright, hair-raising even, exciting and full of a beautiful, sunny, vivid, lively energy, like the most delicious jolt of freshness. (Bone-dry) (96) ANNE KREBIEHL MW
Bright pale-yellow colour. The nose is still reserved despite its lovely intensity. The influence of the granite soil is clearly felt, closing the wine in on itself. The tension on the nose is almost palpable. The palate is vibrant, bright, and juicy. On the palate, the Brand reveals its sunny terroir, giving this wine beautiful intensity and power. A long finish is enhanced by ripe and delicate acidity. Made from perfectly ripe grapes, this wine is distinguished by its intricate, lacy structure. A great wine for ageing. OLIVIER HUMBRECHT MW
