2016 | Zind Humbrecht | Clos Windsbuhl Gewurztraminer

An intense note of fir honey dominates the nose. The concentration and accuracy of that flavor, with its customary sweet bitterness, are astonishing. Underneath this, notions of ripe orange and candied citrus show on a very fluid, almost oily palate. Vivid lemon freshness stands against it and creates a sharp, delicious focus. This wine delivers an arresting juxtaposition of luscious richness and uncompromisingly sharp detail.

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".
