Winemaker Notes
Despite a very slow fermentation, this wine kept much of its residual sweetness. The small yields and the poor nature of the soil (calcareous muschelkalk) provides a harmonious balance to the wine. The quality of this terroir brings delicacy and elegance to this rich wine as well as an aromatic complexity, showing already huge exotic flavours. The 1999 can be compared to the 1988, except perhaps with a more pronounced acidity.

The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by the merging of two families, that on Zenon Humbrecht, viticulteur in Gueberschwihr, and that of Emile Zind, viticulteur in Wintzenheim, with the marriage of their children, Leonard Humbrecht and Ginette Zind. Before this date both families produced and sold their wines separately. Domaine Humbrecht had been passed from father to son since the Thirty Years War (1620). The vinification is now in the hands of Oliver Humbrecht, son of Ginette and Leonard. In 1995, Robert Parker called Oliver's 1993's "The wine of a genius".
