Note di degustazione
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.

Thereâs a lot of discussion about ânoble austerityâ in wine, but those wines are often just a bit hard. This has a certain mineral austerity, but it is welded to the ripest of citrus aromas and breathtaking vibrancy. Although this already makes an impressive statement, the core is so tightly packed that it will show even better after some time to unwind. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2022.
