2019 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Heimbourg Turckheim Riesling

Wine Advocate 92 Points

From 25-year-old vines rooting in a south/southeast-facing plot on Oligocene limestone, the 26 hectoliters per hectare-yielding 2019 Heimbourg Turckheim Riesling opens with an intense yet also lean and elegant, aromatic bouquet with buttery shortbread biscuit, candied orange and lemon, but with more aeration, also white stone fruit aromas intertwined with spicy tannin and terroir aromas. It's quite pure and indeed lean, if not a little austere. Elegant and dense on the palate, this is in fact a pure, linear and very saline, elegantly fruity as well as savory Riesling with an austere, grippy finish. 12.8% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2024. Drink Date: 2025 - 2040 Stephan Reinhardt Feb 06, 2025
