Wine Expert Note:

This wine is a remarkable expression of Riesling from the esteemed Domaine Zind Humbrecht. The Roche Calcaire vineyard, known for its limestone-rich soils, imparts a unique character to this wine. On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, accompanied by hints of white flowers and wet stones. The palate is equally impressive, with a crisp acidity that beautifully balances the wine's richness. Flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and mineral notes dominate the palate, creating a refreshing and complex taste profile. The wine's medium body and well-integrated alcohol contribute to its overall elegance. The Domaine Zind Humbrecht Riesling Roche Calcaire is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate a dry Riesling with depth and finesse. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish, as well as Asian cuisine.
