Jintaro Yura Riesling Le Silence et la Resonance 2023 is a masterful expression of Alsace’s renowned terroir, crafted with precision and poetic finesse. This 100% Riesling originates from the limestone-rich soils of Gueberschwihr, a region celebrated for producing wines with intense minerality and vibrant acidity that perfectly capture the essence of Alsace.
Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in a thoughtful blend of stainless steel, new demi-muids, and ceramic vessels, this wine balances Riesling’s natural vivacity with layered texture and complexity. Le Silence et la Résonance 2023 offers crystalline aromas of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, complemented by orchard notes of green apple and subtle floral hints of honeysuckle. These are underpinned by a distinctive flint-like minerality and delicate saline whispers that add depth and intrigue.
On the palate, the wine reveals a bright and sharp acidity that is expertly balanced by weight, structure, and density. It is captivating in its youth, delivering a luminous freshness, yet built to evolve gracefully over the next 5 to 10 years. The finish is elegant and resonant, lingering with refined precision true to its evocative name.
Jintaro Yura’s unique background—born in Tokyo, trained as a sommelier, and experienced in New Zealand, Burgundy, and top Alsatian domains—infuses this Riesling with a cross-disciplinary sensitivity to terroir, texture, and balance. This is not merely a Riesling; it is a reimagining of Alsace through craftsmanship and profound respect for the land.
