Domaine Zind Humbrecht


The wines of Olivier Humbrecht M.W. need little introduction, possessing great depth, exactitude as well as generosity…like the man himself.

The Humbrecht family viticultural roots can be traced back to The Thirty Years War of 1620. Today they own forty hectares across five villages in the Haut-Rhin, the southern half of the picturesque vineyards overlapping the Vosges foothills, treasured for its idyllic climate, tapestry of terroirs as much for its half-timbered houses.

The domaine has vines in 4 Grands Crus - Rangen (Thann) 5.5 ha, Brand (Turckheim) 2.4 ha, Hengst (Wintzenheim) 1.4 ha, Goldert (Gueberschwihr) 0.9 ha as well as Single Vineyards; Rotenberg (Wintzenheim) 1.8 ha, Clos Häuserer (Wintzenheim) 1.2 ha,  Herrenweg (Turkheim) 11.5 ha, Clos Jebsal (Turkheim) 1.3 ha,  Heimbourg (Turkheim) 4 ha and Clos Windsbuhl (Hunawihr) 5.2 ha.

Olivier has arguably overseen the most notable improvements in the estate’s illustrious history: a new cellar in 1992 while retaining the traditional ‘foudre’ oval barrels; initiating biodynamic practices in 1997 (certified in 2002); and the buying of a horse in 2006 to plough the vineyards!

"This wonderfully zippy, pebbly lime focused dry (2 grams residual sugar) wine comes from youngish (23 years old!) vines perched overlooking the village of Turckheim, giving a more accessible example of fine Alsace Riesling from a top producer. Still quite minerally this will unfurl over the next 12-24 months. Delicious with smoked mackerel."

Full Bodied, Medium Sweet, White, Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio, For laying down, Biodynamic, Cork Closure, 13.5% alc.

The wines from Clos Windsbuhl tend to be delicate but with great balancing acidity and 2005 was an exceptional vintage for this vineyard. With the grapes reaching perfect ripeness and noble rot transforming the grapes into rich, sweet berries, this is arguably the pick of the crop. The palate is tight, compact and packed with seductive notes of honey and apricot, but there is also an immense raciness and minerality showing huge potential for the years to come. Drink 2010-2025.

As with other wines originating from the single Clos Windsbuhl vineyard (one that famously missed out on 'Grand Cru' status due to not being submitted!), one's struck by the cool minerally energy, a wine that speaks more of the soil than the fruit per se. The 10 month long ferment tailed off leaving an off-dry style with 49 grams of residuel, yet the palate is fantastically focused, charged with bristling electricity, leaving an oh! so cleansing pear purity. Needs time, till 2014 to see its best. Great with creamy veal or white meat platters.

" One the finest vineyards in all of Alsace, responsible for Olivier's scintillating Rieslings as well as for this terrific Vendange Tardive, produced in exceptional vintage conditions to trigger a large proportion of rich botrytised fruit (giving highly concentrated, complex juice) as well as fabulous acidity, thanks to the vineyard's cool aspect & limestone bedrock. Built for the long haul (20 + years), this delicate yet powerful wine tastes dry due to perfect balance; the wine has 103 grams of residual sugar (vs 91 for the 2005) & 13% abv. Match with the finest, freshest foie gras." David Berry Green (BBR Buyer)

"While harvest rains may have caught out many, Olivier's Humbrecht biodynamic soils were well prepared to soak it up and come out the other side into fine weather. This mercurial Hunnawihr Clos, in the shadow of the Vosges forest benefits from cool, slow-ripening muschelkalk calcareous soils to give a lesson in limestone purity; still very young and taut, this dry wine (2 grams residual sugar) needs 5 years to open up."

Benefiting from a cool, calcareous rocky terrain, Hunawihr's Clos Windsbuhl is a legendary vineyard producing wines of great minerality, verve & longevity. Unaffected by noble rot (which was diverted away to produce a Vendange Tardive) in '02, the purity and definition of this racy wine is staggering; indeed such is its stature that there is no inkling of its 15% abv. Needs decanting at all cost & will age for 10 years.

"A dramatic dry wine (6.2 grams residual sugar) from the impossibly vertiginous southfacing slopes of Clos St. Urbain, worked only by hand and whose sedimentary volcanic soils combine to give a fabulous flinty, earthy, almost peaty ripenes. The 2004 providing a cooler, smokier, more delicate interpretation of this famous terroir, finely-tuned and persistent. Delicious with sweetbreads now and over the next 10 yrs."
