Parker über:
Grauburgunder R trocken
-- Parker: Zimmerling's 2019 Sächsischer Grauburgunder 'R' comes as a Landwein because it was deemed 'atypical' and rejected as quality wine by the Saxony tasting committee. The slightly bronze-colored wine offers deep, intensely aromatic yet fine and flinty, ripe and elegant Pinot fruit with Traminer charm and notes of crushed stones and lemons. Vinified in stainless steel and bottled in September last year with 12% alcohol, this is a round, very fine and elegant Pinot Gris from the Royal vineyard in Dresden-Pillnitz. It has great intensity and a firm but very elegant structure, and the mouth-watering finish is long, complex and very intense. A fabulous, gastronomic Pinot Gris that is in a style and quality worthy of being called a grand cru. Tasted at the domain in July 2021. 94/100
