2009 | Zind Humbrecht | Clos St Urbain Rangen de Thann Gewurztraminer

Wonderful lift of lychee and geranium, the full old roses nuances of the Gewurz beautifully pitched. Spicy too, and has a solidity to it. The palate has plenty of sweetness, with spices adding little pin-points of flavour in the mouth and the silky richness of the sweet fruit persisting. Powerful stuff, with the acids and grip of the fruit concentration prominent in the finish. Needs some spicy Szechuan food.

Producer Information

The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by the merging of two families, that on Zenon Humbrecht, viticulteur in Gueberschwihr, and that of Emile Zind, viticulteur in Wintzenheim, with the marriage of their children, Leonard Humbrecht and Ginette Zind. Before this date both families produced and sold their wines separately. Domaine Humbrecht had been passed from father to son since the Thirty Years War (1620). The vinification is now in the hands of Oliver Humbrecht, son of Ginette and Leonard. In 1995, Robert Parker called Oliver's 1993's "The wine of a genius".
