Zind Humbrecht Riesling Turckheim 2024
DOZEN: $564.00 or $47.00 each
The nose immediately reveals the classic smoky, toasty aromas often associated with this grape variety in Alsace. It will gain more expression with time and should eventually also show honey and bees wax highights. The palate displays a certain intensity of flavour and good presence with a great structure and a nice concentration. Really dry wine with no aggressivity and velvety finish. The saline acidity reenforces the noble bitterness. Like all Turckheim wines, the finish is elegant and so enjoyable today. OLIVIER HUMBRECHT MW
Notes on previous release
From a west-facing site, the 2022 Heimbourg Turckheim Pinot Gris is coolish, fresh, bright and wonderfully fresh on the nose that is reminiscent of sage, green tea and herbs but also shows just-ripe, healthy Pinot fruit. Round, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a tight and tensioned, slightly reductive yet still pretty closed Pinot Gris that indicates power and substance yet still doesn't sing to me. 12.64% alcohol including 2.9 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. STEPHAN RHEINHARDT
