Zind Humbrecht Riesling Brand Grand Cru 2021

Flinty reduction gives way to lime zest and a core of tropical fruit — mango and pineapple in restrained, precise doses. The palate is structured and incisive, pithy bitterness anchoring the freshness rather than fighting it. At just 4g/L residual sugar, this reads bone dry, the sweetness invisible beneath the tension. Fruit from five lieu-dits across the Brand's granitic soils, with Steinglitz the dominant voice, old vines averaging 50-55 years lending depth and composure throughout.
