Rangen de Thann is a sight to behold. Perilously steep, laden with old red volcanic rock, with (on a clear day) an astonishing view across to the snow capped Alps.
The wines this vineyard produces are as unique as its location, with a distinctive smokey minerality and intense volcanic flavours. The palate is elegant, almost delicate but is immediately showing a big mineral content that brings weight to an overall fine texture. Showing smoke aromatics, spices, herbs… The acidity of the vintage hides the natural tannins but they are present, bringing an extra element of structure. The finish is dry with a ripe acidity. The flavours last a long time without being heavy. This is an elegant and intense Rangen from this cooler vintage.
One of the world's great Rieslings.
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.
