Zind Humbrecht
The roots of the Humbrecht family and their viticulture can be traced back to 1620. Today, they own forty hectares of vineyards, classified Grands Cru, in five villages in Haut-Rhin, stretching to the foot of the Vosges and valued for the carpet of various terroirs. Domaine Zind Humbrecht is among the first to make Alsatian wine with a concentrated fruity style, low yields and biodynamic viticulture. Residual sugar levels can vary considerably between crops, but the acceptance of such variations is part of biodynamic philosophy. To guide the consumer to what to expect in the bottle, Zind Humbrecht puts a sweetness index on the labels of their 2001 vintage bottles, indicating the wine from dry to very sweet.
