On the palate, the wine shows a crazy energy and tension based on the acidity typical of this cru. The limestone brings a
salivating touch to the finish and completely transcends this grape variety which gives way to the Windsbuhl precision also
discretely hiding its power.

“A zesty Pinot Gris, with a lively mix of star fruit, Mandarin orange peel, anise, melon ball and a salty underpinning. It’s sleek and well-knit, with a lasting finish, fresh and floral. Drink now through 2033.”-93WS
With an unbroken winemaking lineage in Alsace since 1620, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht came by its current name in 1959 when Leonard Humbrecht married Genevieve Zind. In the 1960s and 1970s, Leonard was able to expand the winery’s collection of Grands Crus and other high quality vineyards. Since then, one of the hallmarks of every Zind-Humbrecht wine has been its overriding sense of terroir: the taste of the vineyard is always clear and unmistakable.
Zind-Humbrecht is managed by Olivier Humbrecht, one of the world’s only winemakers to attain MW status. His passion for Alsatian wines and Biodynamic farming translates into a portfolio of legendary wines recognizable for their purity, intensity and, above all, their faithful expression of each individual vineyard site.
