This Riesling speaks with unusual volume: <strong>Ripe yellow plums<\/strong>, <strong>Mirabelle plums<\/strong>, <strong>Nashi pear<\/strong> and <strong>Honeydew melon<\/strong> meet delicate citrus notes of <strong>Grapefruit<\/strong> and <strong>Pomelo<\/strong>. But the true soul of wine lies deeper: <strong>Flintstone<\/strong>, <strong>Gunpowder<\/strong>, A dark, almost mystical minerality that seems to rise directly from the chalky, marly subsoil of the Grand Cru. Vegetable tones of <strong>Roasted corn<\/strong> and buttery popcorn add warmth, while dried herbs such as <strong>Marjoram<\/strong> and <strong>Tarragon<\/strong> subtle nuances.<\/dd>\n<dt>Palate<\/dt>\n<dd>Surprisingly relaxed after the powerful nose. Cool, precise, balanced - the fruit takes a back seat in favour of texture and depth. The acidity is surprisingly restrained for a Riesling, but perfectly integrated. It carries without dominating. A meditative wine with enormous length, <strong>salty minerality<\/strong> and quiet elegance. He does not demand, he reflects - a narrator who only reveals his story if you listen.<\/dd>\n<dt>Departure<\/dt>\n<dd>Long, mineral, with cool precision. The salty note lingers, accompanied by fine herbal nuances and a hint of citrus zest.<\/dd>\n<dt>Terroir &amp; origin<\/dt>\n<dd>From the Grand Cru Hengst in Wintzenheim, 270-370 metres above sea level. The parcels near Clos H\u00e4userer grow on Oligocene calcareous-marly conglomerates - a mixture of marl, stony sandstone and calcareous sandstone, rich in iron and minerals. The young vineyard (newly planted in 2016) yielded only 30 hl\/ha in 2023 - pure concentration.<\/dd>\n<dt>Food pairing suggestions<\/dt>\n<dd><strong>Scallops with saffron sauce<\/strong>, <strong>Fried turbot<\/strong>, <strong>Sweetbreads in butter<\/strong>, <strong>Asparagus with hollandaise sauce<\/strong>, <strong>matured Comt\u00e9<\/strong> or <strong>Beaufort<\/strong>. A wine that leaves room for food, conversation and interpretation.<\/dd>\n<dt>Special features<\/dt>\n<dd>A Riesling with charisma that does not push itself to the fore. The climatic development in Alsace has favoured Riesling am Hengst - this 2023 impressively demonstrates the potential of this site. Zind-Humbrecht's biodynamic philosophy manifests itself in every sip.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class='wine-character-bullets'>\n<li><em>The Riesling Hengst Grand Cru 2023 from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace is a monumental Riesling with powerful flavours and cool elegance.
