Product description for Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Roche Calcaire 2020 (bio)
Wine Information
Olivier Humbrecht: This wine is produced each year from a blend of several small vineyards in the town of Gueberschwihr, south of Colmar, all planted by my father in the 1960s and 1970s. They share a moderately late-ripening terroir on limestone-sandstone marl, facing east or south on a gentle slope. These vines are of exemplary regularity and have the great advantage of not suffering from climatic excesses, particularly from water shortages or excessive heat.
Vineyard Information
The 2020 vintage is indeed a vintage perfectly suited to this terroir. The harvest was early and very healthy; fermentation was slow, as with all Rieslings of the 2020 vintage, and ended with a very dry balance. The wine was aged on its lees in large old oak barrels until bottling.
Colour
Intense golden yellow.
Nose
Limestone is once again very present in the nose of this wonderful Riesling, which impresses with pure terroir and fine vineyard peach fruit. A playful scent of citrus fruit, peach, but also earthy, mineral notes guide us along the way. One wants to immerse oneself in this fine yet distinctive wine.
Palate
On the tongue, the 2020 Riesling Roche Calcaire is fruity and refreshing, a dense wine characterized by a chalky note and juicy fruit. It impresses with its freshness, elegance, and a precise, long, and mineral finish. A wonderful food companion with excellent aging potential. If possible, decant and enjoy from large glasses.
