Description of the wine Riesling Herrenweg de Turckheim 1997
The Riesling vineyards are located in the richest part of the Herrenweg, at the exception of the ones located near our cellars. The gravelly soil is mixed with silt and also sometimes with decarbonated loess. The 97 vintage has a terrific maturity and a powerful mouth that distinguishes that wine from the other just before. It blends the classic delicacy of this vineyard to an high ripeness.
