Widely regarded as one of the best co-operatives in the world, Cave de Turckheim is situated to the north west of Colmar in Alsace. Michel Lihrmann has been the senior winemaker for over 25 years and his style of dryer wines has been a huge hit, expressing the wonderful breadth of the Alsatian terroir and grape varieties while pushing pure fruit flavours to the fore.
Turckheim Organic Pinot Noir wine is a textbook Pinot Noir of the light, fresh and fruity kind. Produced from organically grown grapes (note that the label does not say ‘organic’ in English but uses the AB logo and certification and the French phrase: ‘vin issu de raisins de l’Agriculture Biologique’).
This wine is pure, fresh, characterful and lush with classic varietal raspberry fruit and crunchy acidity on the finish. Sweet, primary fruit dominates now but the more gamey, complex characters of Pinot Noir will develop with age. Pair with grilled fish, free-range pork sausages, charcuterie, wild mushroom linguine.
