Riesling Turckheim 2024

Wine description for Riesling Turckheim 2024 from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht

Character

Olivier Humbrecht and his team are masters at translating the mineral essence of Alsatian soils into their Rieslings. This Riesling from Turckheim epitomises the classic elegance of the Domaine: dry, with the characteristic tension between fruit and minerality that makes Zind-Humbrecht wines so unmistakable.

With 13.0% Alcohol and minimal residual sweetness, the purist signature of the estate is evident here. The biodynamic cultivation of the vineyards around Turckheim produces wines that reflect the terroir unfiltered - honest, direct and without oenological compromise.

Terroir and origin

Turckheim lies in the heart of Alsace, protected by the Vosges mountains and characterised by the warm, dry winds that blow through the valley. The limestone and marl soils give Riesling the mineral depth that distinguishes Alsatian wines from their German counterparts.

The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht has been a benchmark for authentic Alsace wines for decades. Olivier Humbrecht MW continues the legacy of his father Léonard: uncompromising quality through late harvesting, natural vinification and patient cellar techniques.

Food recommendations

This Riesling harmonises perfectly with the Alsatian cuisineChoucroute, tarte flambée or smoked fish. Its mineral structure also makes it the ideal accompaniment for oysters, grilled fish or Asian dishes with moderate spiciness.

A wine that bears the signature of one of the most respected domains in Alsace - authentic, characterised by its terroir and without fashionable airs and graces.
