Product description for Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Noir Heimbourg 2020 (bio)
Wine Information
Olivier Humbrecht: The Zind-Humbrecht winery produces only a single red wine, on a very small 0.32-hectare plot in the Heimbourg single vineyard in Turckheim. This west-facing Pinot Noir ripens slowly on red Oligocene limestone soil (rich in iron) and develops a fine aromatic profile. Due to the high planting density (10,000 vines/ha) and pruning close to the ground, the grapes are very small and grow almost at ground level.
Vineyard Information
Yields have always been low, but in recent years this vineyard has been particularly susceptible to trunk diseases. The grapes are harvested in small 15 kg containers and then destemmed by hand on a perforated wooden board. Fermentation begins in an open vat with minimal pigeage (submersion of the pomace cap). The wine is transferred to 228 and 350 liter barrels (not new) and bottled directly without filtration or fining.
Colour
Muted garnet red with lightening towards the rim.
Nose
The 2020 Pinot Noir Heimbourg is mineral, earthy, and still somewhat restrained in its fruit, which, with sufficient oxygen, reveals dark cherries, plums, and berries. An extremely fresh and captivating Pinot Noir, full of expression and finesse, which, with sufficient aeration, reveals plenty of minerality and depth.
Palate
Its palate is extremely elegant, with acidity and tannins still youthful yet ripe. Its juicy fruit beautifully stimulates the drink; once again, one clearly senses the Burgundy affinity, which Olivier has brilliantly brought out. A wonderfully expressive wine that unfolds perfectly in combination with dishes featuring earthy and fruity components. Excellent development potential! Sufficient aeration will allow this exceptionally fine wine to further enhance its character.
