The Maison Zind Humbrecht is located in Turckheim, in the heart of the Herrenweg vineyard. The vineyard of this Maison, which has existed since 1620, is today run by Olivier Humbrecht, a descendant of this family of winegrowers.
The Domaine comprises some forty hectares of vines, spread over very different soils, but mostly limestone, the distinguishing feature of Grand Cru:
Rangen in Thann (5.5ha), Goldert in Gueberschwihr (0.9ha), Hengst in Wintzenheim (1.4ha) and Brand in Turckheim (2.4ha).
The average yield/ha is 35 hl/ha and varies according to vintage, Grand Cru and grape variety. Total annual production fluctuates between 12,000 and 16,000 cases.
Fermentations are slow, and wines spend at least 6 months on total lees. Bottling takes place 12 to 24 months after the harvest.
In accordance with its Charter, Premiers Grands Crus has selected only the Grands Crus of this house for your enjoyment.
All the grapes used for Gewurztraminer are harvested from Grand Cru Goldert, an east-facing, sunny, slightly sloping, limestone terroir, the distinctive feature of a Grand Cru, with an average vine age of 30 years.
The very low yield, which enhanced the quality of this vintage, was 3100 liters per hectare, and the wine had a titre of 14.5%.
La robe is light yellow in color, with lovely floral aromas on the nose.
On the palate: beautiful palette. Silky, expressive finish. Discreet residual sugars.
Optimum tasting: 2015-2038 (cellar ageing year after year will only enhance the qualities of this remarkable wine).
Pairings: aperitif with foie gras canapé or smoked salmon, seafood platter or end of meal with blue-veined cheeses such as Roquefort or Bleu de Bresse.
