Cave de Turckheim Riesling Vieilles Vignes 2022 Description
This elegant Alsatian Riesling showcases the hallmark characteristics of old vine fruit, with layered complexity that rewards patient cellaring.
The wine's vibrant acidity and mineral backbone provide an excellent foundation for extended ageing, typically developing beautifully over 8–15 years. As it matures, the initial citrus and stone fruit notes will evolve into honeyed, waxy characteristics with subtle petrol undertones becoming more pronounced and integrated. The dry palate structure and well-balanced acidity ensure the wine maintains freshness throughout its life, while the depth from old vines continues to unfold, revealing additional layers of complexity.
Collectors will appreciate how this Riesling transforms in bottle, gaining richness and tertiary flavours whilst retaining its characteristic elegance and finesse.
Pairs with many foods, particularly those with Thai or Chineses spices. Great with sushi and Maki. Also works well with goose or duck dishes, and richly flavoured risottos.
