2001 Zind-Humbrecht, Clos Hauserer, Riesling

This is an exquisite Riesling from a single vineyard planted in 1973. The wine is full of energy and mineral notes emerge out of the glass straightaway, with aromas of lemon zest white flowers and a touch of flintiness. On the palate a sense of stony minerality in first instance gives way to flavours of green apple, juicy fresh lemon and lime. Freshness and minerality are the hall marks of this wine, that will require patience but will evolve beautifully, developing amazing complexity. Drink 2025-2040.

Pre-Arrival. ETA First week of November 2023.
