Description

Product description for Zind-Humbrecht Muscat Turckheim 2021 (bio)

Wine Information

Olivier Humbrecht: The Muscat Petit Grain (called Muscat d’Alsace in our region) has adapted well to the warmer climate of recent vintages. Both colours (red and white produce a white wine) are grown on the gravelly-silty alluvial soil near the winery.

Maturation Information

Physiological maturity is very important to avoid an overly pronounced Muscat character. The climate in Turckheim is therefore well-suited, as the grapes reach ideal ripeness with a lower alcohol potential, allowing the wine to ferment quickly and completely dry.

Colour

Light, radiant golden yellow with silvery reflections.

Nose

The 2021 Muscat Turckheim is fragrant on the nose, with fresh grapes, young apricots, grapefruit, and roses, yet still somewhat shy and reductive, a fact that reflects its youth. It’s definitely worth aerating it in its youthful stage, when additional aromas of ivy and musk emerge, along with a hint of coriander, white pepper, and ginger.

Palate

The palate is fresh, invigorating, and pleasantly dry, with a wonderful flow and a fine, appetite-stimulating spice. It’s a pleasure to drink more than one glass, and it also excels in combination with creative dishes. Yellow fruits and ginger in the finish underscore its exotic approach, which is accompanied by a pronounced minerality.
