Zind-Humbrecht – Zind 2007 (750ml)

Zind is in fact classified as vin de table since 2001, because it contains some Chardonnay which is not allowed in the Alsace AOC. All the Auxerrois grapes (35%) and the Chardonnay grapes (65%) in this wine are coming from the Clos Windsbuhl vineyard in Hunawihr. The pure calcareous soil, later ripening climate and slightly higher altitude make it possible to reach nice ripeness while keeping zesty acidity and healthy grapes. The Clos Windsbuhl was harvested significantly later than our Pinot dAlsace and with a higher acidity. Fermentation was therefore slower (12 months) and this wine kept a small amount of residual sweetness.
