Description

Product description for Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Heimbourg, Sélection de Grains Nobles 2005

Colour

Sparkling amber.

Nose

The nose of the 2005 Pinot Gris Heimbourg Sélection de Grains Nobles is both spicy and sweet. Aromas of dried fruit, honey, and resin mingle with white pepper, galangal, and cardamom; delicate hints of cedarwood and tobacco box are also detectable.

Palate

On the palate, the 2005 Pinot Gris Heimbourg Sélection de Grains Nobles also offers a beautiful interplay between concentrated sweetness and piquant spiciness. It pairs perfectly with savoury dishes and desserts with sweet undertones. The west-facing Heimbourg vineyard enjoys ideal conditions for the development of noble rot (botrytis), which was particularly evident in 2005. The resulting Pinot Gris 2005 SGN exhibits extremely intense aromas of noble rot, beeswax, honey, and resin. The palate presents aromas of apricot and white fruits, and the delightful sweetness of the high residual sugar is harmoniously balanced by the alcohol content. The finish is long and persistent. A delicate Trockenbeerenauslese with exceptional aging potential.
