Grapes come from a variety of Zind-Humbrecht’s top quality estate vineyards, predominantly Herrenweg. Zind-Humbrecht’s dedication to terroir expression guides all winemaking practices, which include extended pressing cycles, abbreviated clarification cycles (to retain natural yeasts and proteins in the must), natural malolactic fermentation and extended aging on the lees. The wine is aged 8 months in 40-year-old French barrels.

Tasting Note

The nose shows typical limestone influence, with nice nutty, toasty and slight mineral hints. The palate is powerful and dense and aeration brings out some honey character as well as ripe fruits. The finish is quite velvety.

Food Pairing

Creamy pasta, smoked foods, chicken or rich seafood dishes.
