This wine is made from Pinot Gris grapes grown in two small vineyards in Alsace.The vineyards are characterized by their old vines, which produce low yields of grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas.

This Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that Domaine Zind Humbrecht is known for. A truly remarkable experience for everybody who loves Pinot Gris, as this is a textbook example of ripe and concentrated style with some residual sugar, that Alsace is well known for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of ripe stone fruits, particularly peach and apricot, intertwined with subtle hints of honey and almond.The palate is opulent and well-structured, with a delightful balance of acidity and a slight minerality that enhances its complexity. The finish is long and layered, leaving a lingering impression of dried fruits and a touch of spice. This Pinot Gris is both elegant and robust, reflecting the depth and character of old vines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Region: Alsace
Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles.
Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
