The 2022 Turckheim Riesling Grand Cru Brand is an exceptional dry Riesling from one of Alsace’s most historic and prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Produced by the renowned Cave de Turckheim, the wine comes from the steep granite slopes of Brand, a sun-drenched site celebrated for producing Rieslings of remarkable elegance, minerality and longevity. The granite soils impart precision and freshness, creating a wine that is both powerful and beautifully refined.
The nose reveals aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest and pineapple alongside delicate floral notes and hints of wet stone. The palate is dry, vibrant and beautifully focused, with concentrated citrus and stone fruit flavours supported by crisp acidity and an intense mineral backbone. Elegant and remarkably persistent, it finishes long with outstanding balance, freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A world-class Alsace Riesling that perfectly showcases the pedigree of the Brand Grand Cru vineyard. Its mineral precision and vibrant acidity make it an outstanding match for lobster, scallops, shellfish, roast pork and creamy poultry dishes. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar through 2035+ as it develops greater complexity, texture and classic Riesling maturity.
