White dry
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Turckheim 2024 is a precise and energetic dry white wine crafted from the classic Alsace ‘Riesling’ variety. It originates from the Herrenweg de Turckheim vineyards, where soils composed of sand, clay, and gravel give the wine its clear character and natural balance.
In the glass, the pale golden color reveals a fresh and accurate aromatic profile. Notes of citrus fruits, lime blossom, and green apples dominate, complemented by subtle floral nuances and delicate mineral accents. The aroma remains clean, pure, and dry, inviting deeper exploration.
On the palate, the wine is vibrant and well-structured. Clearly defined acidity brings energy, maintaining a harmonious relationship with the intensity of the fruit. At its core are fresh citrus tones, crisp apples, and a fine mineral thread that leads to a long, precise, and clean finish.
This Riesling shows a restrained level of alcohol while remaining aromatic and expressive. Its complexity and mineral tension create an elegant and balanced whole, typical of the finest Turckheim-style wines.
Serve at 10–12 °C. Pair with baked fresh fish, seafood, light cream cheeses, and Asian dishes with subtle spice combinations.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the most influential wine producers in Alsace, renowned for its precise expression of terroir and exceptionally high quality standards. The family’s winemaking traditions in Alsace date back to 1620, making this estate one of the oldest and most respected in the entire region.
Today, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht manages around 40 hectares of vineyards, more than 10 hectares of which belong to prestigious Grand Cru sites. The vineyards are located across various parts of Alsace, allowing the estate to work with a wide range of soils, microclimates, and vineyard exposures. This enables the production of highly precise, origin-driven wines from classic regional varieties: ‘Riesling’, ‘Gewürztraminer’, ‘Pinot Gris’, ‘Muscat’, and ‘Pinot Noir’.
In their pursuit of faithfully expressing local terroir, the winemakers of Zind-Humbrecht were among the first in Alsace to emphasize the importance of organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate has held organic certification since 1997 and biodynamic certification since 2002. This philosophy is based on respect for nature, minimal intervention, and long-term work aimed at achieving natural balance in the vineyards.
Most vineyard work is carried out by hand, and constant attention ensures exceptionally high grape quality. Yields are deliberately kept low, so only perfectly ripe, concentrated, and balanced grapes reach the winery. In winemaking, the principles of minimal intervention are also applied: fermentations proceed slowly using natural wild yeasts, and wines are aged for extended periods – typically 12 to 24 months – until they reach full harmony.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht wines clearly reflect both the character of each vintage and the unique personality of individual vineyards. Thanks to consistent dedication and uncompromising standards, the estate is regarded as one of the leading ambassadors of Alsace winemaking worldwide, with wines recognized and highly praised by international critics.
