Turckeim This is one domaine that certainly needs no introduction. Olivier Humbrecht is undoubtedly one of the most highly respected producers in the world and it is a great honour for us to represent his wines in the UK. Following on from his father Leonard, Olivier has continued to build on an already great reputation, introducing the practice of bio-dynamic viticulture and taking every measure possible to produce wine of the highest quality. The concentration, definition and above all, superb balance of Olivier's wines is breathtaking.

2002 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl It shows strong mineral character on the nose and needs crucially to be decanted before serving at this young age. The absence of noble rot and good acidity give a powerful structure to this wine, the little residual sweetness and high alcohol makes the finish taste quite dry and mineral. 14g/l residual sugar. Indice 2. Optimum drinking: 2005-2017 (OH)

2003 Riesling Clos Hauserer (per 6x75cl) Clean, youthful aromas of mineral, floral, honeysuckle with rich honied white fruits and a touch of flint and smoke. Dry, very mineral, low acidity, a nice weight of white pear, apricot and citrus fruit. Slightly floral on the middle with a long length with smoky grapefruit on the finish. Multi-layered and very complex, finishing dry with petrol nuances. (CG)

2004 Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim This is a lovely, elegant Gewurztraminer with real influence of the calcareous terroir (about 33% comes from the Hengst) making it much less floral/rose than other examples and elegantly spicy. The palate has a lovely intensity of ripeness and roundness of fruit but no obvious sweetness. Cleanly balanced with a fine acidity the wine has 10 g/l residual and an Indice of 2. (VR)

2004 Riesling Clos Hauserer Always a personal favourite! With a mere 6 g/l residual sugar this feels completely dry on the palate. Clean pure, ripe, mineral –pure, ripe full broad and complex. Incredibly long and delineated with fine acidity and hint of chalk of Hengst. Mineral, intense and complex. Needs time. (VR)

2004 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl VT (per 6x75cl) This is an incredible wine. Produced from grapes with 100% botrytis picked before the rains. The acidity was so high that the yeasts were not able to take the fermentation over 9% alcohol. The nose is incredibly pure and mineral due to the fabulous calcareous terroir, with none of the tell tale waxy botrytis. The palate is pure, ripe, intense and mineral with lovely, unctuous, sweet, ripe fruits balanced by a racy acidity. Olivier comments ‘I personally feel that this is a magic balance, but some years of proper cellaring will be required.’ (VR)

2005 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl VT With 74g/l residual sugar this is obviously feels much sweeter than the Goldert. Much more aromatic on the bouquet too, (Olivier says this is due to the calcerous soils of the Windsbuhl), clean, pure and ripe with aromas of honey and delicate spices. Incredible intensity - ripe, full luscious botrytised fruit but still has a hint of mineral behind. Fine balance of acidity. Smoky and spicy character developing. Complex and long. (VR)
2005 Gewurztraminer Goldert VT The residual here is around 50g/l. Intriguing bouquet of roses, ginger and smoked meat with hints of spice and mineral. A real vin de terroir, with an earthy minerality behind the spicy varietal character. The palate is riper and sweeter than the nose suggests and has a wonderful balance of acidity. Firm and powerful and distinct botrytis character. Less sweet than the other VTs. Needs time to reach its true potential. (VR)

2005 Pinot Noir Hiembourg Yes you have read correctly – Pinot Noir! Rich, ripe, pure bouquet with fragrant red and black berry fruits. Serious structure and attractive minerality with lovely pure ‘Pinot’ fruits balanced by a fine acidity. Restrained and elegant but with good complexity. Impressive length. (VR)

2005 Riesling Brand 7g/l residual. Amazingly concentrated bouquet with stunning minerality. Incredible concentration and power with lovely ripeness but the minerality really dominates. Despite the power and minerality this is not aggressive with lovely ripeness of fruit. Racy balance of acidity and incredible length. (VR)

2005 Riesling Clos Hauserer With 21.8 g/l residual this is quite a contrast from the bone dry style of the last few vintages. The wonderful richness and complexity of the bouquet is contrasted beautifully by a fabulous minerality. The palate echoes the complexity and ripeness but has a brilliant vibrancy and racy balance of acidity. Amazing potential! (VR)

2005 Riesling Guberschwir Produced from 40 year old vines on limestone/marl and sandstone soils. The nose was quite closed at time of tasting but there is a wonderful purity and ripeness of fruit on the palate combined with an attractive, steely, mineral character. With 10 g/l residual sugar but a very classic balance of racy acidity. Phenomenal length! (VR)

2005 Riesling Rangen de Thann All the 2005 Rangens are stunning! With just 4.3g/l residual the wine feels bone dry. Amazingly concentrated and powerful with the distinctive flinty and smoky Rangen character on the nose combined with apricot fruit. The impression is mirrored on the palate which is earthy, smoky and complex. Great balance and length. A real vin de terroir/vin de garde! (VR)
