There’s loads of salty concentration to this warm, generous style, with an alluring core of stone fruit, spiced apple, chamomile and warm hay. Zesty and bright, with good tension to the well-meshed palate. A thread of green herbs and orange zest adds to the complexity on the finish, paved with stone.
This has a lovely, smoky note of reduction with touches of anise and fennel seed amidst its apple and citrus notions. The 2023 is bright, brilliant and textured with a lovely phenolic crunch on its delicate structure. It is vivid, delicious and animating.
The 2022 Riesling Heimbourg was picked next to the Brand Grand Cru from two steep parcels, one south-west-facing, the other entirely west, rooting in poor iron-rich limestone. A touch of reduction casts a flinty haze on absolutely zesty citrus that unites Meyer lemon, grapefruit and tangerine. The palate is ripe and juicy with serene, expansive acidity that spreads a grapefruit zestiness. Beautifully nuanced aromatics make for a succulent, refreshing wine. (Bone Dry)
