Gewurztraminer Grand Cru "Hengst", Alsace 2017

Art. # 1067
The wine comes from two extremely old plots, planted in 1948 and 1920. The incredible terroir of Hengst carries the noble aromas that we find in the wine. The grapes are harvested after the development of Botrytis, which explains the residual sugar of 62gr/l.

Zind Humbrecht

Zind Humbrecht

The roots of the Humbrecht family and their viticulture can be traced back to 1620. Today, they own forty hectares of vineyards, classified Grands Cru, in five villages in Haut-Rhin, stretching to the foot of the Vosges and valued for the carpet of various terroirs. Domaine Zind Humbrecht is among the first to make Alsatian wine with a concentrated fruity style, low yields and biodynamic viticulture. Residual sugar levels can vary considerably between crops, but the acceptance of such variations is part of biodynamic philosophy. To guide the consumer to what to expect in the bottle, Zind Humbrecht puts a sweetness index on the labels of their 2001 vintage bottles, indicating the wine from dry to very sweet.

Alsace

Alsace

Located in northeastern France, between the Vosges mountains and the French border with Germany, marked by the Rhine River. A long, narrow region, 185 kilometers from north to south and only 40 kilometers from east to west. The key wine-growing areas here are located on the lower slopes of the Vosges, on slopes with eastern and southeastern exposure. Alsace specializes in white varieties, such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. These varieties, naturally found in neighboring Germany, are produced here in a much drier style compared to there. The best representatives are the dry and mineral Riesling, the spicy and strong Gewürztraminer, which pair wonderfully with the local cuisine. Other interesting and noteworthy ones are the light and fresh Sylvaner, as well as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.

Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer

Гевюрцтраминер (Gewürztraminer) е официалният синоним на немски език на ароматния сорт грозде Траминер, който е една от емблемите на енологията на Южен Тирол, от една страна, и на Елзас, от друга. Много добре познат и изключително характерен по отношение на ароматите и вкуса, както всички вина, произведени от ароматни или частично ароматни сортове грозде. По-трудно, именно поради тези характеристики, се съчетават с храна. Структурата и минералността му, особено в най-високите изрази, които се срещат в Елзас, както и алкохолното съдържание на много интерпретации от Алто Адидже, го правят неподходящо за придружаване на деликатни ястия. Мекотата и консистенцията на виното, съчетани с мощен ароматен букет (плодов - личи, маракуя, ананас; пикантен - пипер, карамфил, звездовиден анасон; цветен) го правят интересно за опитване с бели меса в много пикантни ориенталски приготовления (като Тандори), с пушена сьомга или сини сирена. То е изключително и като вино за медитация.
