Baltasis p. sausas
Vines grow on the Muschelkalk limestone soil with the average age of 28 years. Fermentations are very slow, and the wines spend a minimum of 6 months on the total lees. The wines are bottled between 12 and 24 months after the harvest. Light yellow color. The nose gives off an immediate impression of aromas of ripe white fruits (peach, pear) and citrus, with an almost “Riesling” character. The palate is refined, elegant and the well-structured finish adds to the complexity of the wine. Good length, medium power.
Serve at 8-10 °C with sushi, fish rice or as aperitif.
Caramelized-pear and very ripe melon and guava notes pour from the glass of this rich but only demi-sec Alsace pinot gris. Notes of cinnamon and allspice that you don’t find in the nose. Then comes the bright, chalky acidity that beautifully balances the creaminess and spice at the long finish. Just 12.4% alcohol, yet ripe through and through. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Winegrowing is a passion that has been passed down from father to son in the Humbrecht family since the 17th century. Domaine Zind Humbrecht today comprises of 40 hectares of vines, spread out over an array of different terroirs in the geological patchwork which is the Alsatian wine region and birthplace of our noble grape varieties. Organic and biodynamic viticulture since 1997.
