Each year Zind-Humbrecht produces some of Alsace's most sumptuous and sought-after wines. The property is managed by Olivier Humbrecht, one of the world's only winemakers to attain M.W. status and a passionate and intelligent advocate for the wines of Alsace and the benefits of Biodynamic farming. Under his guidance this legendary estate produces pure, powerful, racy bottlings that are astonishingly faithful to their individual vineyard sites. The domaine has a reputation for exacting vineyard and winery practices, with high density planting, alcoholic fermentation in oak and avoiding the malolactic fermentation. I have no doubt that Zind Humbrecht is the greatest domaine in Alsace. The style is not to everyone's taste, but regardless of one's preferences (I personally have come to enjoy the wines greatly) their commitment to quality cannot be denied.
