Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Muscat Turckheim 2014
Alsace, FranceThe grapes, 85% Muscat d'Alsace and 15% Muscat Ottonel come off the floor of the alluvial valley near Turckheim. Over the years Humbrecht has decreased the amount of Ottonel in the blend allowing more Muscat d’Alsace (petits grains), a grape which needs more time to ripen, to keep the acidity up and balance off the power of the Ottonel. Humbrecht also thinks the slow ripening explains why they often have higher acids and more freshness in the current releases. Essentially bone dry, this aromatic, fruity white dances on the palate at 12 percent alcohol without any of the oiliness that plagues a lot of muscat. Asparagus anyone? Fruit flies damage the crop in 2016 leaving quantities at a bare minimum.Tasted: 28 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
