Wine Description:
Domaine Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris Calcaire is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Domaine Olivier Humbrecht. Primarily sourced from the youthful Pinot Gris vines of Clos Windsbuhl, planted in the '90s on limestone-rich soil, this wine occasionally incorporates grapes from distinguished sites like Clos Jebsal, Heimbourg, and Roche Calcaire. The 2019 vintage, marked by its exceptional character, showcases a subtle interplay between dryness and lively acidity. The vinification process involves a unique approach, uniting individual lots for harmonious maturation. After individual aging, the wines meld, resulting in a nuanced, barely dry masterpiece accentuated by six additional months on full lees.
