White dry
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Zind 2023 is an expressive and profound dry white wine from Alsace, combining the philosophy of biodynamic winemaking with a distinctive terroir character. It is considered one of the most representative wines of the Zind-Humbrecht range.
The aroma unfolds with a rich and complex palette: the first impression reveals freshly picked citrus fruits, green apples, and vivid herbal notes, intertwined with delicate floral accents and a subtle mineral purity. With aeration, the wine develops even deeper aromatic layers, revealing hints of wild blooming flowers and fresh green apple nuances.
On the palate, the wine is precise and dynamic. It is medium-bodied, with clear acidity and a natural balance between fruit intensity and mineral texture. The structure is firm yet refined, while the flavor profile expresses harmony of green apples, pears, citrus fruits, and delicate herbal tones. The mineral tension provides additional definition, perfectly complementing the wine’s vibrancy and long, persistent finish.
The origin of this wine is strongly shaped by the application of biodynamic viticulture methods. Grapes are cultivated with deep respect for nature, harvested by hand, and vineyard health and balance remain key priorities. Fermentation takes place slowly using wild yeasts, ensuring maximum preservation of aromatic purity, textural integrity, and the authentic voice of the terroir.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Zind 2023 is a wine whose clear structure, natural balance, and expressive aromatic character reflect the diversity of the Alsace terroir. It is an excellent choice to enjoy now, while also offering ageing potential for several years to come.
Serve at a temperature of 10-12 °C with fatty fish (salmon, cod) and grilled salmon steak.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the most influential wine producers in Alsace, renowned for its precise expression of terroir and exceptionally high quality standards. The family’s winemaking traditions in Alsace date back to 1620, making this estate one of the oldest and most respected in the entire region.
Today, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht manages around 40 hectares of vineyards, more than 10 hectares of which belong to prestigious Grand Cru sites. The vineyards are located across various parts of Alsace, allowing the estate to work with a wide range of soils, microclimates, and vineyard exposures. This enables the production of highly precise, origin-driven wines from classic regional varieties: ‘Riesling’, ‘Gewürztraminer’, ‘Pinot Gris’, ‘Muscat’, and ‘Pinot Noir’.
In their pursuit of faithfully expressing local terroir, the winemakers of Zind-Humbrecht were among the first in Alsace to emphasize the importance of organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate has held organic certification since 1997 and biodynamic certification since 2002. This philosophy is based on respect for nature, minimal intervention, and long-term work aimed at achieving natural balance in the vineyards.
Most vineyard work is carried out by hand, and constant attention ensures exceptionally high grape quality. Yields are deliberately kept low, so only perfectly ripe, concentrated, and balanced grapes reach the winery. In winemaking, the principles of minimal intervention are also applied: fermentations proceed slowly using natural wild yeasts, and wines are aged for extended periods – typically 12 to 24 months – until they reach full harmony.
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht wines clearly reflect both the character of each vintage and the unique personality of individual vineyards. Thanks to consistent dedication and uncompromising standards, the estate is regarded as one of the leading ambassadors of Alsace winemaking worldwide, with wines recognized and highly praised by international critics.
