WINE DESCRIPTION
The winemaking tradition of the Humbrecht family dates back to the time of the 30 Years' War (1620). Here, in the deep Alsace, the son refines the craft of the father, while the grandson perfects the efforts of the son. The house Zind-Humbrecht, as it presents itself today, was established in 1959 through the merger of the previously independently producing family branches of the Humbrecht dynasty. Alsace has always been known for robust white wines, and Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is dedicated to vinifying them in their authentic form.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Gewürztraminer from Domaine Zind Humbrecht in Alsace is a true gem.The wine displays a beautiful golden color in the glass, enticing the senses from the start.
On the nose, aromas of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices fill the air. There is a captivating floral quality that adds depth and complexity to the bouquet. These enticing aromatics continue to evolve and reveal new layers with each swirl of the glass.
The palate is equally impressive, offering a rich and full-bodied experience. The wine is beautifully balanced with a harmonious blend of sweetness and acidity. Flavors of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, dance on the tongue, accompanied by hints of ginger and honey. The texture is luscious and velvety, leaving a long and satisfying finish.
Domaine Zind Humbrecht Gewürztraminer Alsace is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes. Its aromatic profile and complexity make it a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine, particularly Thai or Indian dishes. It also pairs well with strong cheeses, such as Munster or Roquefort.
