    The wine

    Sitting at the mouth of the Munster valley, Herrenweg is a terroir renowned for its mild climate producing early harvests. Its well-drained pebbly topsoil absorbs the heat from the daytime sun and releases it at night, resulting in early maturation in the fruit with wonderfully rich aromas. Opening with slight spiced notes, it is dense in the mouth with fine integrated tannins and a fresh acidity.

    Information about domain Zind-Humbrecht

    Zind Humbrecht was created in 1959 as a result of the merger of the wine producing operations of the Humbrecht family in Gueberschwihr and the Zind family in Wintzenheim. The Humbrechts are a very old wine-making family, who have been passing their skills from one generation to the next since the Thirty Years War (1620). The property has 40 hectares and is managed according to biodynamic principles. Zind Humbrecht has long been established as one of Alsace's most reputable producers. Léonard Humbrecht has placed quality over quantity, developing superb terroirs that have been neglected because they are too difficult to work, such as Rangen in Thann. Today, Olivier Humbrecht and his father are only interested in exceptional terroirs; their insistence on quality, combined with virtuoso technical ability, enable them to produce exceptionally dense, complex wines that are always respectful of the characteristics of the grape varieties and the terroir.
