Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Hengst Alsace Grand Cru AOC Gewürztraminer 2017

Brief notes and selected from my cellar by mistake, to be honest. A gorgeous nose of jasmine and lychee. Rich, luscious and unexpectedly sweet for 12.5 % alcohol. Those lychees are obvious on the palate. Barb tried this before I got home and it was a great match with a mature cheddar. I will leave tasting a 2nd bottle for several years. — 4 months ago

Hengst Vendange Tardive Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2011

Wowee... I was mesmerized by the purity and the cleanliness of the fruit in this wine... Extremely well balanced and bright. Perfect sweetness, not cloying, just perfect. Dangerously approachable at the moment! So why wait...? — 8 years ago

Impressive Pinot Noir from a plot in the Hengst Grand Cru in Wintzenheim (Alsace appellation rules don’t permit Pinot Noir here, so it can’t be labeled as Grand Cru). Delicate, Burgundian nose, red fruit, some spices. Light, balanced, elegant, good acidity. Delicious. Positively impressed by all the wines I’ve had from this domaine. — 8 months ago

Alsace Grand Cru Hengst Riesling 2018

Riesling from the Hengst grand cru in Wintzenheim, about 5 miles west of Colmar. Biodynamically farmed vineyards. Lean, precise, elegant with citrus, flowers and hints of rubber on the nose. On the palate there is some grapefruit. Powerful, dry, mineral. Nice saline aftertaste. — 3 years ago

Hengst Tokay Pinot Gris

Deep amber color with strong notes of stone fruit and honey to the nose and palate. Silky and rich on the way down with a long finish. This was a fabulous wine — 3 years ago

Fresh & floral. Polished, balanced and quite racy for a wine with 126 grams RS! Peaches, pears. Probably should've declared it SGN. #barmesbuecher #alsace — 7 years ago
