Rotenberg is a picturesque vineyard near the town of Wintzenheim, and only a stones throw away from the Grand Cru site of Hengst. These are iron rich soils, which produce wines with a distinct intensity and vibrant acidity.
This is bold, with stunning orchard fruits and stone fruits such as peach and apricot. But there is always a backbone of minerality, characteristic of the limestone soils.
Zind Humbrecht's Pinot Gris for me are often their most compelling wines, this is certainly one of their top examples and well worth trying, or laying down for a good few years!
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.
