Riesling Clos Windsbuhl 2016 - Zind-Humbrecht

Riesling Clos Windsbuhl 2016 Hunawihr - Domaine Zind-Humbecht

Indice of sweetness on the palate of the 2016 vintage: 1, a analytically dry or dry-tasting wine.

The altitude of the vineyard coupled with Hunawihr’s tardy climate means that the Clos Windsbuhl is often one of the last of our vineyards to be harvested. This explains the aromatic quality of the Clos’ wines and the consistent balance of acidity, a guarantee of good ageing. Although often harvested late, the Windsbuhl grapes are only rarely botryitized, doubtless due to the altitude of the vineyard, but nevertheless often reach high levels of maturity.

Today, the Clos covers an area of 5.5 ha. The Pinot Gris is in the majority, followed by the Gewurztraminer and the Riesling.

Indice: Sweetness level 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: The bottles of Alsace wine do not fit into the wooden boxes sold separately.
