Tasting notes
From 46-year-old vines yielding 53 hectoliters per hectare, the 2019 Clos Häuserer Wintzenheim Riesling intermingles ripe, aromatic and refreshing citrus fruit (mandarins and lemons) intertwined with the deep, calcareous marl notes from the Häuserer clos. Lush and elegant on the palate, with vivacious mineral acidity, this is a full-bodied, dense and intense, very concentrated and persistently mineral-structured 2019 Riesling with a vital, complex and still young but elegant and juicy finish. This wine weighs in with just two grams per liter of residual sugar and 13.2% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2024.

With its cornucopia of yellow fruit, floral notes and wet-stone character, this is at once fleshy and enormously structured. Nothing opulent or warm about it at all, though. In fact, the very long finish is decisively cool. You really need some time to take in this embarrassment of riches! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
