Riesling Clos Windsbuhl, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2023

The 2023 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl is from a site up in the forest on Triassic limestone. This crackles deliciously with fine and promising reduction, promising and thrilling. The palate is a wonderful intersection of the juiciest, crunchiest apple and the smoothest lemon. All about this is long, cool, bright and sunny, with a wonderful depth of freshness and real serenity. This just flows and shines with purity. What an incredibly animating wine. (Bone-dry) 2028-2060.

The flinty minerality of this compact and tightly wound dry riesling is absolutely extraordinary. This, the sleekness and the very racy acidity on the medium-bodied palate make it unique in Alsace. The Mirabelle plum fruit emerges very slowly. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.
