Winemaker Notes
The Rangen Vineyard was really put to the test in 1999! (flowering, mildew, first year of biodynamic cultivation). This incredible vineyard rose above all difficulties to produce a small crop of excellent quality grapes with high levels of ripeness. The botrytis was particularly rare in the Riesling; this combined with a very slow fermentation produced a powerful, dry wine strongly influenced by the volcanic soil (flint, peat mineral character). A complex wine with great ageing potential.

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".
