A full-bodied, mineral-rich style, with a lot of power behind its lemon rind and stone fruit notes, which are broad and mouthfilling. The foundation of flinty mineral keeps this firmly taut through the long finish. Everything is zipped up with grapefruit pithy acidity for a harmonious profile, with the subtlest hint of salted butter.
A long, lush white enlivened by bright acidity, with juicy peach and nectarine fruit underscored by minerally slate and petrol accents. Reveals zesty pink grapefruit and blood orange accents that linger on the racy, spiced finish.
The palate is a wonderful intersection of the juiciest, crunchiest apple and the smoothest lemon. All about this is long, cool, bright and sunny, with a wonderful depth of freshness and real serenity. This just flows and shines with purity. What an incredibly animating wine.
The 2022 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl is a “bucolic” site, Humbrecht says, surrounded by forest and fields at altitude. It is on rocky Triassic limestone. The wine is slightly flinty and nutty on the nose. The palate is stony, too, taut and bright but flowing like clear spring water, cooling, with ever more citrus coming to the fore. Lemon zestiness and lovely brightness make this mouth-puckeringly tangy and deliciously thrilling. (Bone-Dry)
At once powerful and crystalline, this densely structured dry riesling is made for the long term. Extremely lemony and salty on the medium- to full-bodied palate, then so compact at the very long, driving finish, which is as pointed as a rapier. The last riesling harvested in this vintage, but with the lowest alcohol and the highest acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes.
