Riesling Turckheim 2024
Trade Tools
France / Vins D'Alsace
The vineyards producing this Riesling are located on the sandy/gravelly part of the Herrenweg area in Turckheim. 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.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage will certainly be remembered as an unusual vintage, defying climate change. Looking at the precise rain recordings over our different weather stations, we can see between 30% to 50% above average rainfalls on our different vineyards. 2024 didn’t have extreme high temperatures, unlike recent years.
Tasting Note
The nose is still slightly closed but a gentle aeration reveals complex fruity and floral aromas (citrus, lime tree). The palate shows serious structure, dry with a tight acidity in a delicate lacy structure.
