Cave de Turckheim Riesling Grand Cru Brand

Wine information: Cave de Turckheim is situated in the pretty village of Turckheim, just slightly north west of Colmar. Firmly established as one of the best co-operatives in the world Cave de Turckheim always pays the utmost respect for the wine, combining rigour, know-how and patience with the latest technology and a steady stream of investment. Michel Lihrmann has been their senior winemaker for over 25 years and strongly believes that varietals in Alsace should express their delicate characteristics and favours the dryer style of Alsace wines. Testimony to their quality and attention to detail has been the clutch of medals and awards gained over the past few years, culminating in a clutch of awards, especially for the Grand Cru Brand range. 100% Riesling.

Tasting Notes: Cave de Turckheim Riesling Grand Cru Brand is a classy dry white and typical of a fine Riesling - elegant pear and citrus fruit on the nose underpinned by pungent mineral and 'petrol' aromas (the classical perfumed & 'stoney' oil trademarks when this grape develops in bottle), which broadens and gets richer in the mouth yet the finish is crisp, steely and racy.

Food & Wine match: Serve with entrees and hors d'oeuvres with delicate flavours, fresh seafood such as crab or bream and even light pork dishes, particularly with a creamy sauce.
