This wine has a delicate, very elegant touch on the palate and takes up the aromas present on the nose as well. As it opens, the
wine becomes intense and persistent while retaining a form of airy lightness. The finish reveals a salivating minerality with
the firmness expected on a dry wine. Although this wine is already tasting very well today, this Sommerberg shows a great
capacity for evolution by evolving very slowly during the tasting. A great wine for laying down!

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.
