Domaine Barmès Buecher | Riesling Grand Cru Hengst, 2018 | 12x Bottles

*1 bottle per type of wine - 12 bottles in total

Exclusive to Wine Source, from one of the finest and most famous vineyards in Alsace, whose name Hengst means "stallion"… And this wine lives up to its name, powerful, racy, muscular and gracious, with a lip-smacking lemon curd flavour, light and fresh, organic and fresh! The soil is pure limestone which is ideal to retain freshness and the exposition is full south, perfect for maturity and sun-seeking. In 2018, sunshine and heat was in abundance all over Europe, making this vintage of Hengst perhaps a little broader than previous vintages. When we tasted it at the Winery in February 2020, it did live up to our expectation and we were utterly impressed but the balanced it had with acidity and a touch of saltiness.

Domaine Brames Buecher has been applying biodynamic farming methods on all their vineyards for over 20 years and it is crucial in specific warm vintages as the roots are 10-15 meters underground and sipping freshness and necessary minerals to produce lively wines rather than sugar loaded nectars. Feet in the water and head in the sun, wouldn't we all be like this everyday? Happy vineyards indeed!  Riesling Hengst 2018 is a gorgeous, mineral fresh and sophisticated white wine.
