Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Muscat Goldert Grand Cru 2013

Alsace, FranceMade from a 90/10 mix of muscat d’Alsace and Ottonel, the Goldert Grand Cru is located north of the village of Gueberschwihr. It is a late-ripening, deep limestone, gently sloping hillside that faces east and the early morning sun. The terroir and site foster a slower ripening process, excellent acidity and healthier grapes at harvest. The Goldert is also a vineyard capable of resisting drought, useful given how warm it was in June and July. The ferment was slow but little sugar was left leaving an attractive mineral character mix with floral/fruity notes. The palate is fresh and dry with bits of palate floral, spicy, quince and light honey flavours sprinkled with citrus. Fresh and elegant – Humbrecht style.Tasted: 28 March 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
