Description of the wine Riesling Turckheim 2003
This wine is classicaly made from the young vines from the granitic Brand vineyard (planted 1978/1986). In 2003, we added in this wine a young vineyard located on a marl/calcareous soil just under the Clos Jebsal, This new addition gives more power and structure, especially in a year like 2003. The fermentation was quite quick and transformed all the sugars.
Tasting notes
06/2004 : The nose is elegant and aromatic. The palate shows the classic Riesling character in a dry style, but without the usual sharp acidity. This wine is very enjoyable now. Ready for bottling.
10/2004 : Even more aromatic after the bottling. This is going to be a successful combination of vineyards. Great structure, the dry palate suits this wine very well.
