Cave de Turckheim Réserve Riesling 2020 Description
This elegant Alsace Riesling showcases the hallmark characteristics of mature Reserve expression.
On the nose, layered aromatics reveal ripe stone fruits alongside subtle floral notes, with that distinctive petrol minerality gaining prominence as the wine opens.
The palate demonstrates impressive complexity - honeyed richness balances crisp white peach and citrus, while underlying mineral tension provides structure and depth. This wine has developed beautiful integration between fruit and acidity, moving beyond its youthful exuberance into a more sophisticated phase. The finish remains characteristically dry and refreshing, yet now displays greater length and elegance.
This is a Riesling in its sweet spot - mature enough to reveal secondary characteristics and textural refinement, yet retaining the vibrant acidity and freshness that define great Alsatian examples. Ideal for those seeking a wine with both immediate pleasure and contemplative complexity.
The fine citrus characters make this Riesling the perfect partner for fish, seafood and shellfish.
