Winemaker Notes
Like the Rotenberg, this west facing calcareous hillside produced a small crop of a rich and concentrated wine. Very mineral and smoky on the nose, the mouth has a rich and elegant structure which is very typical of this vintage. The maturity is high, like 1997, but the wine tastes finer and better balanced. The acidity keeps the wine fresh and hides the sweetness.

Parker
Robert
The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by the merging of two families, that on Zenon Humbrecht, viticulteur in Gueberschwihr, and that of Emile Zind, viticulteur in Wintzenheim, with the marriage of their children, Leonard Humbrecht and Ginette Zind. Before this date both families produced and sold their wines separately. Domaine Humbrecht had been passed from father to son since the Thirty Years War (1620). The vinification is now in the hands of Oliver Humbrecht, son of Ginette and Leonard. In 1995, Robert Parker called Oliver's 1993's "The wine of a genius".
