Intense but still tight citrus and mineral driven nose. There is an obvious sense of austerity and rigor on the nose, but also some great complexity. The limestone of Trias is quite poor on the Windsbuhl and top soils are shallow, especially on the top part of the Clos where the Riesling is planted. It brings an incredible elegance and delicacy to the Windsbuhl wines that always have a bright and salivating acidity. The finish is lacy and the structure of the wine suits a medium power and dry finish. It goes on for a long time and even at this early stage, the 2021 is already very enjoyable.
Organic since 1997 and Biodynamic since 2002, Zind Humbrecht are revolutionaries in sustainability viticulture in Alsace. The estate is historic, but it wasn't until Olivier Humbrecht MW took over the family business that people really started to sit up and listen. It is a very unique thing to have a Master of Wine running a winery, and Olivier brought his knowledge outside of Alsace to bring innovation to his family cellar. These are exciting wines that pay homage to tradition whilst constantly looking to the future.
