Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Turckheim 2014
Alsace, FranceThe vines, average age of 45-years-old, emanate from the Cru Village of Turckheim but in 2014 the fruit flies were determined to make a mess of the vineyards. In the end, field selections were drastic and Humbrecht declassified two cru gewürztraminer vineyards into his village wine to get a satisfactory result. The fermentation was quick and the wine finished easily dry. Look for bright, spicy, floral aromas with similar spice and orange flavours all with that transparent Humbrecht purity. Humbrecht has always had an impressive way of expressing delicacy with a serious tone but in this year, it comes with less oily notes, a dry, delicate character and fine acidity that mutes some of the often-rambunctious attributes if gewürztraminer.
