The 2013 Pfingstberg Riesling from Domaine Valentin Zusslin is a dry wine sourced from the renowned Pfingstberg Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace. Characterised by steep south-facing slopes and granite-sandstone soils the vineyard contributes a pronounced minerality. Valentin Zusslin adheres to biodynamic and organic farming practices, exemplifying a commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. In this vintage, the wine showcases high acidity and a freshness indicative of challenging weather conditions. Aromas of citrus fruits and white florals are complemented by a mineral backbone, offering a precise palate experience. While enjoyable now, it possesses potential for further maturation.
