Zind Humbrecht
About Zind Humbrecht
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht in the Alsace, was created in 1959 continuing the Humbrecht family’s history of wine growing for three centuries. It is now managed by Olivier Humbrecht, the first Frenchman to become a master of wine.
One of the most important domaines in Alsace since its foundation in 1620, Domaine Zind Humbrecht has been passed down through generations of the Humbrecht Family for 400 years. Not only is the domaine one of the most traditional, it is also one of the most dynamic in this heavily German-influenced French wine region.
Perhaps it is four centuries of experience and dedication to their land and terroir that led them to convert to biodynamics back in 1997. The results are tangible and their wines, especially those from the most prestigious Grands Crus, go toe-to-toe with the finest white wines in the world.

Vinous (88)
(16% alcohol with 38 g/l r.s.) Full orange color; looks like a pinot gris SGN! Idiosyncratic, extreme aromas of toffee, roasted coffee bean, porcini and earth; smells a bit like Tokaj. Extravagantly ripe, high-toned flavors of smoke, mushroom, toffee and coffee, plus a note of plum liqueur. Powerful more than sweet, with the wine's surprisingly firm acidity and salty minerality not yet in harmony with its fruit flavors. In fact, where is the fruit? Finishes long and warm, with notes of marzipan and walnut. An oddball-and not for the faint of heart.Inc. VAT£551.09
