Winemaker Notes
This vineyard becomes more and more stunning as the years pass. The marl-limestone soil, located just under the Hengst, produced a wine of great complexity and richness. Completely dry, having finished fermentation in the summer of 1999, this wine has developed a structure and an aromatic intensity unusual for this vineyard. The strong, mineral flavors are supported by a ripe acidity and a powerful body, giving a sensation of roundness to this wine. It is a generous wine with tremendous aging potential.

Wine
The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by the merging of two families, that on Zenon Humbrecht, viticulteur in Gueberschwihr, and that of Emile Zind, viticulteur in Wintzenheim, with the marriage of their children, Leonard Humbrecht and Ginette Zind. Before this date both families produced and sold their wines separately. Domaine Humbrecht had been passed from father to son since the Thirty Years War (1620). The vinification is now in the hands of Oliver Humbrecht, son of Ginette and Leonard. In 1995, Robert Parker called Oliver's 1993's "The wine of a genius".
