Tasting notes
From a quite steep, southwest-facing Turckheim cru on Oligocene limestone and from 24-year-old vines, the 2018 Riesling Heimbourg offers a clear, fresh and aromatic bouquet that eventually indicates a bit of hydric stress and lacks the aromas of juicy, fully ripe and vital fruit. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a lush and pure dry Riesling, with a grippy, dense, dry but also somewhat watery finish. It's not really exciting, but it's a classic to be served with fish. 12.7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023.
