The 2005 Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Rotenberg Sélection de Grains Nobles is a luxurious and highly concentrated dessert wine from Alsace, France. Made from Pinot Gris grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), this wine offers an exceptional balance of richness, complexity, and freshness.
The Rotenberg vineyard, located near Wintzenheim in the Haut-Rhin subregion, is known for its red limestone soils, which enhance minerality and acidity in the wine. The 2005 vintage is deeply golden in color, delivering intense aromas of honey, dried apricots, candied citrus, saffron, and exotic spices. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet vibrant, with flavors of ripe stone fruits, caramelized pear, and orange zest, complemented by a long, lingering finish with refreshing acidity.
This wine is perfect for long-term aging and pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses, or rich desserts like tarte Tatin.
