Zind-Humbrecht - Pinot Gris, GC, Rangen de Thann C

The due south-facing aspect of Rangen Vineyard increases the amount of direct sunlight, giving the vines a privileged position on the steep Hillside with its gradient. As a result, Rangen is a late ripening vineyard whose exceptional exposure allows the grapes to mature slowly in October and November. Zind-Humbrecht’s dedication to terroir expression guides all winemaking practices, which include extended pressing cycles, abbreviated clarification cycles (to retain natural yeasts and proteins in the must), natural malolactic fermentation and extended aging on the lees. The wine is aged 18 months in 40-year-old French barrels. | Brand: Zind Humbrecht | Varietal: Pinot Gris | Country: France | Region: Alsace | ABV: 13.9% | Size: 750ml
