DOMAINE ZIND-HUMBRECHT RIESLING TURCKHEIM 2022

The prestigious Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, with winemaking heritage dating back to 1620, crafts this exceptional Riesling from their organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in Alsace, where the unique terroir benefits from the rain shadow of the Vosges Mountains and a diverse soil composition of limestone, granite, and clay. Current winemaker Olivier Humbrecht, France's first Master of Wine, brings meticulous attention to expressing the purity of this noble grape variety, creating a wine that displays intense white fruit aromas with classic Riesling vibrancy while avoiding the austere stoniness sometimes found in richer examples. On the palate, it surprises with remarkable intensity while finishing beautifully dry without any harsh edges—a testament to the family's centuries of experience working with Alsace's signature varieties. This approachable yet sophisticated Riesling makes a perfect aperitif or brilliant accompaniment to shellfish and delicate white fish preparations, showcasing the domaine's commitment to producing wines of purity and precision.
