Description
Still biodynamic white wine from Alsace, 13% ABV, produced by Domaine Zind-Humbrecht. 100% Riesling, 2023 vintage. A Grand Cru that embodies the elegance and complexity of Alsatian Riesling, a wine that tells the story of a family that has cultivated vines since 1620. The steep slope, rich in biotite and granite, gives the wine a unique minerality. Straw yellow in color. On the palate, it is dry, with intense freshness that becomes powerful, combined with warmth, which gives it body while maintaining a certain austerity, broken only by the floral note that also emerges in the aftertaste. Aromas of praline fruit, honey, yellow flowers, and a slightly sulfurous minerality. An elegant and rich wine, perfect for pairing with fish and seafood dishes.

Winegrower from father to son since the Thirty Years war in Europe (1620) the Humbrecht family has long winemaking traditions. Today Léonard and Ginette, as well, as Olivier and Margaret Humbrecht are working together at the Domaine.
Chanoine Barth, historian of Alsace wines, recalls that the Humbrecht family was already renting vineyards from the Abbaye of Marbach, near Gueberschwihr, in the 18th century. However, we only started to bottle our wines in 1947. Since then, we have only produced grapes from our own vineyards, making the wine and selling it under our own label.
Today the Domaine Zind-Humbrecht has 40 hectares of vineyards located in five different villages in the Haut- Rhin. Read more
