About Domaine Zind Humbrecht

(12.9% alcohol; 69 g/l r.s.; made from declassified Hengst and Goldert fruit in 2010): Bright yellow-gold. Exotic spices, flowers, rose and crushed stone on the perfumed nose, along with a hint of white raisin. Powerful extract, a saline quality and notes of spices and flowers give this wine a remarkably savory, tactile mid-palate. A very minerally style of gewurztraminer, this should make an outstanding white wine with cheeses. Buffering minerality gives the suave, dusty finish a fairly dry impression in spite of the substantial residual sugar. Wonderfully light on its feet. (ST)
