Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling "Roche Granitique" dry white 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Description: Riesling is a grape variety that fears drought but paradoxically expresses itself better on well-drained and stony terroirs. A late-ripening variety, it requires soil that warms easily but can ensure a regular water supply. The granitic terroir may seem austere on the surface, but the two-mica granites of Turckheim degrade and crack easily, allowing the vine to grow deep.

Tasting comment (January 2026): Pale yellow color. The nose is precise and straight, marked by a form of austerity linked to granite. As it opens, it reveals aromas of stone, citrus, flint... The palate is tense, elegant, airy, and extends with finesse, featuring a fine and chiseled acidity that lightens the finish. This wine shines with its digestibility and ease in accepting its tense and racy character. It is a wine bursting with precision and freshness.
