The Zind Humbrecht House is located in Turckheim, in the heart of the Herrenweg wine region.
This House’s vineyard, which exists since 1620, is currently managed by Olivier Humbrecht, a descendant from this family of winegrowers. The estate is composed of 40 hectares of vine, dispatched between very different soils, but mostly chalky, a distinctive trait of Grands Crus:
Rangen in Thann (5.5ha), Goldert in Gueberschwihr (0.9ha), Hengst in Wintzenheim (1.4ha) and Brand in Turckheim (2.4ha).
The average yield per hectare is 35 hl/ha and varies depending on the vintage, the Grand Cru, and the grape variety. The total annual production oscillates between 12.000 and 16.000 cases.
The fermentations are slow and the vines spend at least 6 months on total lees. The bottling process is done 12 to 24 months after the harvest.
Truthful to its Charter for your enjoyment, Premiers Grands Crus only selected Grands Crus from this House.
