🌟 A precise and mineral-driven Riesling from the limestone and marl-rich soils of Alsace—racy, elegant, and deeply terroir-reflective.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale lemon with green glints—bright and pristine, with a shimmering clarity.

👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and refined, with aromas of lime blossom, green apple, and white peach. Notes of flint, wet stone, and crushed herbs add a cool, mineral lift.

👅 On the Palate:
Dry, linear, and sharply focused. Crisp citrus and orchard fruits are wrapped in a fine chalky texture, with laser-like acidity and a persistent mineral backbone. The finish is long, refreshing, and mouth-watering.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with oysters, Thai green curry, roast pork with apples, or Alsatian tarte flambée. Its acidity and minerality shine with both delicate seafood and richly spiced dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its purity and zip, but can cellar gracefully for 5–8 years, developing more honeyed and petrol nuances.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Turckheim’s ‘Marnes et Calcaires’ is Alsace Riesling at its most articulate—expressive, structured, and brimming with character from the region’s unique soils. A wine for lovers of precision, elegance, and that irresistible combination of citrus, stone, and steel.
