Zinnkoepfle Sinneles
Bodega: Riesling
Año de cosecha: 2015
País y región: Francia, Alsacia
Denominación/ Appellation: Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru
Este vino proviene del valle central de Rouffach-Guebwiller en Alsacia, Francia. La zona está caracterizada por formaciones areniscas y calizas, lo que influye en la mineraleza del vino.
Perfil esperado:
El Zinnkoepfle Sinneles 2015 es un Riesling con una nariz discreta pero intensa, que se abre lentamente. Presenta sabores dulces de hierbas y nueces junto a frutas secas blancas maduras como el melón de agua. Es potente y elegante, con una estructura rica en minerales y salinidad. La dulzura es notable pero equilibrada por la mineraleza.

From limestone and loamy sandstone soils in terraced vineyards, Rominger's 2015 Riesling Zinnkoepfle Les Sinneles displays a very clear, deep and intense but subtle, initially just discreetly aromatic bouquet; it delivers sweet herbal and nutty flavors, as well as super ripe and dried white seed fruit and honeydew melon flavors. However, the wine needs a lot of time to open up without being particularly reductive on the nose. Full-bodied, pretty rich and intense, with a certain sweetness but a rigorous minerality, this is a powerful yet very elegant and even finessed Riesling. The charming sweetness of 11 grams is still a bit prominent for purists like me, but will be very helpful in 10 or 20 years. The wine has a firm phenolic structure and a fine salinity, and is surely a long-distance runner. Zinnkoepflé fans shouldn't miss it.
The estate is in Westhalten, at the foot of the Zinnkoepflé grand cru, which peaks at 430 metres, in the heart of the Vallée Noble, south of Colmar.
The Vosges massif acts as a screen here. The Grand Ballon and the Petit Ballon hold back the prevailing winds and the weather fronts, so the area gets a great deal of sun and very little rain: the setting is dry, near arid for what one expects of Alsace.
Twelve hectares, between named parcels and the Zinnkoepflé grand cru.
Claudine Rominger took on the estate and expanded it with her husband, Éric, in 1984. Éric died in 2014 and she has run it alone since. The name on the label is his.
They have farmed biodynamically since 2000 and obtained Demeter certification in 2012.
