Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Roche Calcaire Riesling
Alsace, France
Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.
Nose has moist limestone, cold lime wedge, under-ripe pear, sweet yellow apple, tangerine zest, light petrol notes and dry limestone pebbles.
Palate has candied pineapple, dried lemon, lemon zest, warmed green apple with ripe acidity and a classy, rich limestone finish, long and contemplative.

Richness of fruit with concurrent ripeness running throughout, intense petrol and mineral notes about. Electric acidity buzzing across all parts of the palate. All traits of a long ripening site(s). Oh riesling on limestone, how I love thee.
