2016 Riesling Grand Cru Rangen de Thann, Clos St Urbain, Zind Humbrecht

2016 Riesling Grand Cru Rangen de Thann, Clos St Urbain, Zind Humbrecht

The Clos St Urbain vineyard is as precipitous as it is beautiful. This is one of the best wines in Alsace, with notes of tropical fruit, as well as candied lemon and wonderful salinity. Superb, and a wine of remarkable depth.

Tasting notes

Super smoky with enormous depth, but also incredibly precise and pristine with a salt, savory and mineral finish that doesn't want to stop. In spite of that unique personality and that there is a couple of decades of aging potential, it's so easy to enjoy right now. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.
