A racy and powerful wine, but it has not yet reached its final balance. The fermentation is particularly slow for this wine. This can be explained by a higher acidity and above all a very low pH. It is not a fruity wine, the mineral aspect is dominant, and it provokes a nice salivation on the finish. This wine requires a little patience!

As its name indicates, this wine comes from several of the estate's limestone soils, but mainly from our vines located around the village of Gueberschwihr. Numerous parcels are included in its composition, parcels that it would be impossible to vinify separately for lack of sufficient volumes. The limestone soils are less precocious, have a greater reserve of water useful to the plant and therefore produce wines with a less expressive profile in their youth, even slightly reductive, and above all with a more lemony and sharp acidity. The latter character means that this wine is regularly one of the slowest to ferment its sugars. If it continues on its current path, fermentation will be finished in the spring and it will be bottled the following summer.

The Estate Zind-Humbrecht

The Zind-Humbrecht estate, founded in 1959 by the union of the properties of Emile Zind and Zénon Humbrecht, has succeeded in becoming one of the leading French estates over the last few decades. Wine lovers all over the world recognise the exceptional quality of the terroirs and the work of the visionary Olivier Humbrecht, who succeeds in creating the finest Alsatian nuggets year after year.
Today, the vineyard of the Zind-Humbrecht estate covers 41.1 hectares with a plantation divided between 30% Gewurztraminer, 30% Pinot gris, 30% Riesling, 7% Pinot blanc and 3% Muscat. In addition to all these white terroirs, there is one hectare devoted to the cultivation of Pinot Noir. Entirely converted to biodynamic cultivation since 2000, the wines of Zind-Humbrecht have continued to gain in complexity and minerality. The first French master of wine succeeds in producing intense, powerful, rich, salivating wines, with a straightforwardness and density that are quite exceptional. Tasting a great terroir wine such as a Grand Cru Rangen de Thann, a Clos Jebsal or a Clos Windsbuhl remains a very special emotion... Zind-Humbrecht wines can be found on the Passionnés du Vin website. The best vintages, often in several vintages, are proposed to discover or rediscover the quality of the terroir and the fruity taste of these Alsace wines. Treat yourself and order your bottle of Zind-Humbrecht now, to be enjoyed in moderation of course. For an exceptional moment...
