A drier style Pinot Gris from what is arguably Z-H's greatest vineyard. Hard to find too many recent tasting notes but based on the last time I tried this (2/3 years ago) it'll still be lovely!
Back in 2001 the winery gave this a drinking window of 2005-2020+ and said:
14.7° alc, 11 g/l Residual Sugar
We took the decision in the Windsbuhl Pinot Gris as the Pinot Gris Rotenberg: harvest the healthy clusters before the noble rot, in order to produce a wine not too ripe. The botrytised grapes were harvested the same day in this vineyard and produced a VT. I think that one of the most difficult dry wine to make in Alsace is certainly a Pinot Gris. It is often either slightly too ripe and keeps residual sweetness, or, if harvested slightly too early, it will lack its expected power and structure. The 2000 Windsbuhl is
as close to what I would expect of a dry Pinot Gris as we are able to do. The nose shows
delicate exotic aroma and classic Windsbuhl minerality. The palate is a the same time strict and powerful, leaving the mouth dry. It is an opulent dry wine, capable of beautiful ageing.
