Riesling Grand Cru Rangen Zind Humbrecht 75 CL 2017

The Grand Cru Rangen is the southernmost vineyard in Alsace, but in fact it has late ripening characteristics. The higher altitude (350m to 480m elevation), the proximity of higher summits and the depth of the valley bringing cold winds explain why the budbreak is much later. Yields are small, despite higher vine densities (10000 vines/ha); The Rangen behave incredibly well in 2017 and it was a real pleasure to find a normal crop there, that also fermented extremely well.
