✨ wine.spec_sheet
Sourced from the warm, gravelly alluvial soils of the valley floor in Turckheim, this Gewurztraminer is a masterful expression of one of Alsace's most flamboyant noble grapes. Domaine Zind Humbrecht utilizes biodynamic farming and slow, natural fermentations to capture the intense, exotic character of the terroir. The gravelly soils of Turckheim heat up quickly, allowing the Gewurztraminer grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness, resulting in a wine of immense aromatic complexity, rich texture, and a characteristic touch of spice, without losing its essential sense of place.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Formed in 1959 through the merger of two historic winegrowing families, Domaine Zind Humbrecht is located in Turckheim, Alsace, and is globally revered as a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, having achieved certification in 1997 under the stewardship of Olivier Humbrecht MW. The estate meticulously manages legendary grand cru and single-vineyard sites, including Clos Windsbuhl, Clos Hauserer, and Hengst, where low yields and slow, natural fermentations preserve the pure expression of the terroir. Renowned for its uncompromising commitment to quality, the domaine produces highly concentrated, complex white wines from Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, ranging from bone-dry expressions to legendary late-harvest Vendanges Tardives and botrytized Sélection de Grains Nobles.
