Domaine Zinck Portrait Riesling 2020

Organic

This is classic Alsatian Riesling with great texture, slight waxiness, and zippy acidity. Bright orchard fruit notes with a mineral-driven core wrapped around that brilliant acidic backbone. This a dry expression of Riesling that compliments a variety of cuisine from cooked fish, raw, fresh goat's cheese, or farmer’s market vegetables. Do not let the moderate price fool you, this is sleek and lean, with great energy and tension. Is it too early to think about Thanksgiving Day dinner?

Domaine Zinck is located in Eguisheim, in the heart of Alsace. They have 14 hectares of vines located on plots between Eguisheim and Gueberschwihr, in the Upper Rhine region. The Zinck family has been cultivating vineyards and producing wine for four generations now. In 2011 they began organic farming practices and in 2018 they became fully biodynamic.

Their grapes are 100% hand-picked and then vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.

"A great wine is born from the earth. We produce authentic wines that fully express the terroir on which they have matured. Organic cultivation and bio-dynamics are our essential principles to respect the earth and create the initial taste in the grapes. The manual harvest and meticulous vinification allow us to preserve what has been created in the vineyard, from the earth to the fruit.

We work hard together with my entire team to defend this philosophy throughout the seasons and we listen to our customers to evolve on a daily basis." - Philippe Zinck
