Gewurztraminer - Clos Windsbuhl 2011 - Zind-Humbrecht
Hunawihr - Domaine Zind-Humbecht
Sweetness index on the palate : 5 , Sweet wine, very close to a Late Harvest
The altitude of the vineyard, combined with the later climate of Hunawihr, means that the Clos Windsbuhl is often one of the last vines harvested on the estate. For the same grape variety, there can be up to three weeks of difference between the earliest plots on the Herrenweg and the Clos Windsbuhl.
This explains the aromatic quality of the wines of the Clos and their constant balance in acidity, a guarantee of good ageing. Often harvested late, the grapes of the Windsbuhl are rarely botrytised, probably due to the altitude, but often reach high levels of maturity.
The Clos now has a surface area of 5.5ha. The Pinot-Gris is in the majority, followed by Gewurztraminer and Riesling.
Hint: Level of sweetness on the palate. Scale from 1 to 5.
1: technically dry or tasting dry. 2: not technically dry, but sugars are not noticeable on the palate. Some tasters may find a slight roundness in the finish. These wines will taste dry with some bottle ageing.3: medium sweetness, more important in the youth of the wine, which will gradually fade with age. 4: Sweet wine. 5: Sweet wine, very close to a Late Harvest
Caution: The bottles of Alsace wine do not fit into the wooden boxes sold separately.
