Description of the wine Riesling Turckheim 2024
The vineyards producing this Riesling are located on the sandy/gravelly part of the Herrenweg area in Turckheim. This valley floor was shaped by glaciers and rivers in the quaternary era. The layers of large pebbles can be over 45m deep (we could see this when digging for our well at the winery!). These soils may suffer a lot in very dry vintages, but in more rainy vintages, they remind us how important it is to have great drainage. This valley floor also enjoys early ripening conditions, particularly interesting in 2024. The early harvest and an excellent soil metabolism ensured a fast and dynamic fermentation leading to a bone-dry wine with a great structure.
Tasting notes
8/2025: light pale-yellow colour. The nose, as expected, is still slightly closed but a gentle aeration will reveal complex fruity and floral aromas (citrus, lime tree…). The palate shows serious structure, driven by a ripe tight acidity in a delicate lacy texture with moderate power. This Riesling represents the archetype of the grape variety and is so enjoyable today.
