Zind-Humbrecht Turckheim Pinot Gris is a powerfully spicy white wine from Alsace, one of France’s coolest and most renowned wine regions.
This Pinot Gris is racy and aromatic, particularly compared to the much leaner style found in Italy, known as Pinot Grigio. This wine has lots of elegance, depth and character.
It originates from the gravelly and sandy loam soils left by the glaciers and the river Fecht running down the Munster Valley. Vines here can be very vigorous, tending towards producing a richer style of wine.
The gravelly/sandy valley floor in Turckheim was hot and dry in 2018, putting a lot of pressure on the vines. Berries were small in 2018 and very dark in colour (sun intensity!), influencing the colour and style of the wine. This was the first vineyard harvested in 2018, and the first one to finish fermentation, completely dry. Producers then bottled it slightly later due to the long fermentation period.
This Pinot Gris boasts an intense yellow colour. The nose is powerful and displays concentrated spicy aromas. The palate has lower acidity, nice tannins, very dry, intense finish. Zind-Humbrecht Turckheim Pinot Gris is clearly a wine that will need food, spicy dishes, sweet and sour, smoked food.
