Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Heimbourg 2022

This wine is ready to enjoy now, but it also has the structure and complexity to age gracefully for up to 15 years in your cellar. Decanting for up to an hour before serving is recommended to allow its full aromatic potential to unfold.

While the winery as we know it today was established in 2019, the Zind-Humbrecht family boasts a rich winemaking heritage in Alsace that dates back to 1620. Today, the domaine spans 42 hectares, overseen by the esteemed winemaking duo of Margaret and Olivier Humbrecht, along with their sons, who joined the family business in 2019.

The Riesling grapes for this wine hail from Heimbourg, a small vineyard nestled on a hillside overlooking the picturesque Munster Valley. This unique terroir imparts a distinct character to the wine.

This Riesling shines in the glass with a stunning golden hue. The nose is a captivating blend of white flowers, juicy stone fruit, zesty citrus, and a precise limestone minerality. Allowing the wine to breathe will reveal even greater aromatic complexity.

On the palate, the Heimbourg Riesling is characterized by impressive power and a vibrant acidity. The calcareous soils contribute a subtle tannic grip, which beautifully balances the high acidity and sweet fruit notes. It’s remarkably dry, with delicious flavors of white peach, lemon and lime zest, pear, honeysuckle, and sea salt. The excellent structure ensures this wine will age gracefully.

This Riesling is a versatile companion at the table. Consider pairing it with roast chicken, flavorful pork sausages, or a variety of Asian-inspired dishes.
