Tasting notes
Bold and rich, with huge yellow fruit and ample structure on the succulent medium- to full-bodied palate. Lively acidity, but it’s the fine tannins that drive the long, quite dramatic finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Riesling Heimbourg was picked next to the Brand Grand Cru from two steep parcels, one south-west-facing, the other entirely west, rooting in poor iron-rich limestone. A touch of reduction casts a flinty haze on absolutely zesty citrus that unites Meyer lemon, grapefruit and tangerine. The palate is ripe and juicy with serene, expansive acidity that spreads a grapefruit zestiness. Beautifully nuanced aromatics make for a succulent, refreshing wine. (Bone-Dry)
