NEW LABEL COMING SOON
Selected parcels of Riesling vines, averaging over 45 years of age, grow on limestone, granite and gravel soils. Traditional vinification with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 19°C. The Cave have always aimed to produce a drier style of Riesling which results in a very pure expression of this variety grown in Alsace since the 1400s.
Dripping in medals and awards, Turckheim Riesling Vieilles Vignes is produced from vines that are over 30 years old which produces a rich and concentrated wine, but remaining dry and racy. Very pale green in colour. Highly aromatic, with notes of citrus, grapefruit and other exotic fruit. The taste is quite full, fruity and long with a good crisp finish. Pairs many foods, particularly those with Thai or Chinese's spices. Great with sushi and Maki. Also works well with goose or duck dishes and richly flavoured risottos.
