It seems that both the Auxerrois (35%) and Chardonnay (65%) grapes decided to have a break after two generous vintages. The stony Muschelkalk (seashell limestone) soil of the Windsbuhl produced lower yields in 2013, packing this Zind wine with lots of character and zesty acidity. The consequence was a long fermentation and we feared that it would keep some significant residual sweetness. However, having been able to harvest the grapes at perfect desired ripeness and very healthy, the wild yeast managed to ferment the wine dry.
There’s so much ripe-pear aroma in this focused dry white and the lemony freshness is more than enough to carry the generous body. Long, very clean finish that’s bone dry, but polished. A blend of two-thirds chardonnay and one-third auxerrois. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
