Pinot Gris AOC Alsace

Planted in 1983, this tiny Clos has become a classic sweet wine-producing vineyard with perfect conditions to encourage noble rot. This is a deliciously rich and opulent wine already showing barley sugar, honey and apricot flavours together with great minerality. All the elements have come together in perfect harmony and there is a wonderful balance and delicacy promising great ageing potential. Drink 2008-2050. (This wine will be shipped in 2008).

This Pinot Gris comes from Clos Windsbuhl, a terraced limestone & clay vineyard, which by many is considered to be producing Zind Humbrecht's greatest wines. The 2007 vintage displays toasty characteristics, tea leaves, chalk and plenty of fruit flavours. The finish is dry, long, intense and complex.
