Domaine Zind-Humbrecht

The Zind Humbrecht estate was formed in 1959 through the marriage of Léonhard Humbrecht and Genevière Zind. The Humbrecht family has a very long winegrowing tradition, cultivating vines in an unbroken line from father to son since the Thirty Years’ War (1620). Today, the estate is mainly managed by the son of Olivier Humbrecht .

The Alsatian estate owns 40 hectares of vineyards on the Upper Rhine, on the slopes of the Vosges. Annual production varies between 10,000 and 18,000 cases of wine, up to 85 % of which are exported. Many years of experience have allowed Alsace’s grape varieties to be matched to specific soils and microclimates. Léonard and Olivier Humbrecht avoid pesticides, insecticides, artificial fertilisers and artificial irrigation. They practise organic viticulture using biodynamic methods and have obtained Ecocert and Biodyvin certification.

The hand-picked grapes are pressed very slowly, for over 12 hours, in three large presses from the Bucher Grand Cru series. The wine then matures for at least a year in temperature-controlled oak casks without pre-filtration, fining or chaptalisation. The result is a truly natural product that delights critics and wine lovers. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht’s vineyards include Grand Cru sites such as Rangen in Thann, Brand in Turckheim, Hengst in Wintzenheim and Goldert in Gueberschwihr. Other estate vineyards are Rotenberg, Clos Häuserer, Herrenweg, Clos Jebsal, Heimbourg and Clos Windsbuhl.
