2021 Muscat Goldert Grand Cru, Zind-Humbrecht

2021 Muscat Goldert Grand Cru, Zind-Humbrecht

Muscat is the maligned grape of Alsace. But in the right hands, it is one of the most wonderful wines to discover. It is a personal favourite of Olivier Humbrecht's, who espouses its combintaion of powerful aromatics with savoury palate of pithy precision that drinks wonderfully well in its youth. If you miss Muscat, you aren't really getting the whole Alsace picture, is his train of thought. This 2021 is fleshy, peachy, with vibrant acidity, greengage freshness, and terrific mineral drive. Goldert is the only cru in Alsace with marine oolithic limestone, which is a staggering 235 million years old. It is a late ripening terroir, and engenders the wine with a taut line of acidity not always common to the variety. There is not even a hint of the vulgar varietal character you find in a common Muscat. 0.5g/l residual sugar (bone dry)
