Pinot Gris Roche Calcaire 2018 - Zind-Humbrecht 

Domaine Zind-Humbecht

Indice of sweetness on the palate: 1 , analytically dry or dry tasting wine.

This wine comes exclusively from the Pinot-Gris vineyards planted between 1990 and 1992 on the Clos Windsbuhl in Hunawihr. They are producing a very consistent quality, but always remain behind the oldest vines in terms of ultimate quality potential. The smaller 2017 crop, perfectly healthy grapes and good ripeness would have brought this wine as close as possible to the potential and profoundness of the old vines. The grapes ripened quickly, allowing for an earlier harvest and it was therefore easy to avoid excessive power. The fermentation allowed for a very dry style of Pinot-Gris, making this wine arguably one of the most interesting Calcaire Pinot-Gris made on the estate recently.

Indice: Level of sweetness on the palate. Scale from 1 to 5.

1: analytically dry or tasting dry. 2: not analytically dry, but sugars are not noticeable on the palate. Some tasters may find a slight roundness in the finish. These wines will taste dry with some bottle ageing.3: medium sweetness, higher in the youth of the wine, which will gradually fade with age. 4: Sweet wine. 5: Sweet wine, very close to a Vendange Tardive.

Caution: Alsace wine bottles do not fit in the wooden boxes sold separately.
