Riesling Turckheim 2018
Trade Tools
France / Vins D'Alsace
Riesling from the flat alluvial gravel vineyards surrounding the winery. Ideal full sun exposure ensures that these wines are very ripe, opulent and fruit-driven.
Harvest Note
Abundant sunshine and timely moisture led to a full crop with grapes in a fine healthy state. Full volumes returned especially with the vines which had been damaged by frost in the previous year.
Tasting Note
Sleek and elegant entry with vibrant fruit notes backed by sweet earth & moss notes, this is a classic Alsace riesling for general use.
