"Complex sweet spice flavours combined with toffee, stone fruit and vanilla notes. A lush rounded, soft texture." - Decanter
"Developed fruitiness (nectarine, mango, honey), rich, round and tender but supported by a beautiful freshness, delicate and suave. 33g/L sugar.
Widely regarded as one of the best co-operatives in the world, Cave de Turckheim lies at the mouth of the Munster Valley. Working closely with 180 partners, its vineyards span the full breadth of Alsatian terroir and grape varieties. Cave de Turckheim only produces wine from the grapes of its member growers, it is a récoltant not a négociant.
Committed to producing the highest quality wines, growers are encouraged to keep yields low - for example, Cave de Turckheim voluntarily caps yields for its Grands Crus vineyards at 45hl/ha rather than the permitted 55hl/ha - and to pick the grapes by hand.
On the banks of Wintzenheim, the Hengst grand cru facing south-south-east extends on a fairly steep slope. Its geological constitution made of Oligocene conglomerates and limestone marls gives very thick clayey soils which give the wine a solid and very robust character." - Turckheim
