Alsace Pinot Gris Roche Calcaire Zind-Humbrecht (Domaine) 2018
13%
0.75L
Intensity
A Pinot Gris with a charming, fruity nose that surprises on the palate with its lovely acidity and minerality.
More infoFrom different terroirs of the domain, this wine has a golden-yellow colour and a delicate nose of citrus, praline and roasted coffee. You might expect an equally rich palate, but it is livelier with a lovely tension and a light structure. The chalky rock the vines were grown in offers a marked finish with good ageing potential.

About the Producer Zind-Humbrecht
Zind Humbrecht was created in 1959 as a result of the merger of the wine producing operations of the Humbrecht family in Gueberschwihr and the Zind family in Wintzenheim. The Humbrechts are a very old wine-making family, who have been passing their skills from one generation to the next since the Thirty Years War (1620). The property has 40 hectares and is managed according to biodynamic principles. Zind Humbrecht has long been established as one of Alsace's most reputable producers. Léonard Humbrecht has placed quality over quantity, developing superb terroirs that have been neglected because they are too difficult to work, such as Rangen in Thann. Today, Olivier Humbrecht and his father are only interested in exceptional terroirs; their insistence on quality, combined with virtuoso technical ability, enable them to produce exceptionally dense, complex wines that are always respectful of the characteristics of the grape varieties and the terroir.
