100% volcanic soils reflect intriguing smoky aspects. At first almost caressing, the palate reveals ripe, juicy pear, wet stone and more smokiness, with energy-lending citrus and pepper. After sipping, you realise how very concentrated and even powerful the exceptionally smooth palate is. A veritable showstopper and fit for the finest gastronomy.
Gorgeous aromas of orange, ginger, pepper, truffle butter and spring flowers. The palate balances acidity and residual sugar, delivered with brisk salinity, wherein you bask in the textural seamlessness. It is not for nothing that this grand cru is mostly planted with Pinot Gris.
Initially smoky notes from the volcanic soil border on bacon, but what a robust palate. Shows off juicy nectarine, ginger and green and black tea. Almost 50% of Hengst Grand Cru is planted with Gewurztraminer, and this is a stellar example.
Zesty, bright and intensely minerally, this carries its weight with ease, showing lime zest acidity that drives lychee, green plum and mandarin orange flavors. This has a lightness to it, with chalky minerality powering the creamy yet focused palate through the sneaky long finish
A floral white, silky on the palate, with orange peel acidity and flavors of baked pear, tarragon, candied pink grapefruit and stone.
