$25.99
Harmonious dry Riesling from Alsace. This is a great entry point into this historic estate and their impressive, horse plowed sites (this “Lot 141” bottling is almost entirely sourced from the famous Herrenweg vineyard). This particular lot comes from old vines (40+ years old) and saw a very slow fermentation and extended lees contact. The terroir really shines through with gun flint and apricots on the nose and noticeable texture and grip on the palate. Technically dry, yet with the perfect dose of juicy, ripe fruit on the finish.
100% Riesling./ ABV 12.3%

Tasting Notes | bright pale yellow/green colour. At this young age, the wine still has a high CO2 content, so opening the bottle in advance or decanting could be advised. The nose shows fresh citrus fruit aromatic, still tight, obviously in need of time. Alluvial soils rarely produces wines with a high mineral/ash content, but this wine has a very mineral/rocky aspect on the nose, confirmed on the palate with an interesting salivation. The palate is nicely balanced between acidity, power and a silky dry finish. This is a very classic Riesling Turckheim, it will probably need a few months after the bottling to fully open up and reveal a more expressive character. |
Food Pairing | Steamed mussels & clams, baked cod, Thai lemongrass chicken |
