There is nothing more satisfying than drinking the perfectly balanced Riesling. It is rare to find Rieslings that are not cloyingly sweet, but producers like Zind Humbrecht have perfected the balance between residual sugar and acidity. Like many Alsatian wines, Zind Humbrecht is all about aroma, with enticing floral and fruit notes like lilies, peaches, and pineapples that are refreshingly tantalizing. If you have not yet had the pleasure of tasting the scarce balance wines that Zind Humbrecht possess, now is your chance!
Tasting Notes
- WA94
- With his parcel of Pinot Gris in the Rangen, Humbrecht again harvested twice. Those vines closest to the river Thur (indeed only a few yards away) were picked for a Selection de Grains Nobles and those higher on the steep slope were vinified and bottled as the 2001 Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos St.-Urbain (indice 3). Less opulent than the Clos Windsbuhl, this effort reveals gun flint, smoked minerals, and ripe pear aromas. Highly elegant, it is a broad yet austere offering loaded with stones, smoke, pears, spices, and apples. This medium-bodied wine has superb balance and length. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.
