Clos St Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling Zind Humbrecht 2008

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Clos St Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling 2008 is a single-vineyard white wine from the Grand Cru of Rangen in the Alsace region of France. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 via the marriage of Leonard Humbrecht & Genevieve Zind, although the Humbrecht family have been growing grapes & making wine since the early 17th century. This cuvée expresses the stony, volcanic terroir of the Rangen de Thann vineyard. "The crackling acidity is matched in intensity by the pronounced tea rose note that wafts through this vibrant white. Peach and papaya flavours play off smoke and white pepper notes, lingering on the long, mouthwatering finish. This is delicious, and each sip brings you back for another." Wine Spectator, 2010
