Zind Humbrecht's 2007 Riesling Clos Häuserer shows all the
limestone/calcareous character this grape variety can acquire from a healthy,
slow ripening vintage: lots of minerals, juicy acidity and good weight. The
lower than usual alcohol level makes it a fantastic food wine and its delicate
finish is more enhanced by its acidity and minerality than sheer power.

"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."

As with other great vineyards, Grand Cru Brand was in fact riper in 2006 than
2005, able to shrug off the Sept rains thanks to the permeability of its
friable granite soils, and ultimately to develop serious noble rot. The 56 year
old vines contributed a scintillating purity to this fully botrytised wine,
charged with barley-sugar intensity and stunning persistence. Off -dry at 70
grams/litre. Drinking now with foie grase but will age till 2026 at least.

Showing an expressive nose of musky, bittersweet floral aromatics, leading to a
palate that is full of mineral quality and as dry as it could possibly be. The
acidity in 2007 Riesling, Clos Windsbuhlis is intense, but is complemented by
ripe grapefruit notes, wet stones and minerality, striking a wonderful balance.
Those with a mind to cellar for longer can do so safely.

Zind Humbrecht's 2007 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl shows an aromatic nose of
exotic fruits and jasmine flowers that gives way to a palate of extreme
elegance and well balanced sweetness. Concentrated flavours fill the mouth with
lush lychee notes, honeysuckle, exotic spices and tropical fruits. Boisterously
expressive yet graceful, this will hold for many years, gaining more layers of
additional complexity.

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 cool as a cucumber, Clos Hauserer's limestone-rich soils make it one of
Olivier's most minerally wines. The nose brims with chalky floral notes and
limey purity while the palate shows such linearity, such 'droiteur', with only
15 grams/litre of residual sugar. Clos Häuserer is one of Olivier’s
less well-known vineyards, lying in the shadow of Grand Cru Hengst near
Turckheim. Yet it’s perhaps this very fact that has imbued the wine with
an unassuming profile; something not lost on the locals, with whom it has
become a hit apparently. This is a dry wine for earlier drinking till 2016,
with plaice ideally.

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.
