Zind-Humbrecht – Gewrztraminer Alsace Grand Cru Wintzenheim Hengst 2021 (750ml)

Winemaker Notes

Bright pale yellow color. The nose is still restrained showing complex, spicy and peppery aromas. On the mouth, the wine shows a great intensity and brightness of flavor. Bright and ripe acidity allows for a harmonious finish, this wine seems at first, quite gentle and eventually opens up to an intense wine dot. It feels really elegant and almost easy to drink, no doubt it will need more time to fully express the characteristic of this great vineyard.

Professional Ratings

This has almost exactly the balance that I remember from the great gewurz of the late 20th century. Fragrant turkish delight character, rich yet dry with a wonderful interplay of ripeness, a mere hint of grape sweetness and complex spiciness. What a beautiful finish! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
