I never heard of the grape until I grabbed this bottle. At first I got a whif of oak that was also present on the palate but it dissapeared / integrated in the wine after 30 mins of opening. The blend felt close to a Pinot Gris from Alsace, it was enjoyable but nothing exotic other than uncommon grape in the blend (2910 views) | | | Tasted by CarpeVinoDiem on 6/23/2011 & rated 86 points: Notes not taken at the time.
Nice with more sweet Reisling-type nose and taste.
Simple, versatile, but not overly impressive or deep at all.
86 pts B. (3459 views) | | | Tasted by CarpeVinoDiem on 6/10/2011 & rated 86 points: Had some with Fettucini Alfredo.
Fine, lemon, orange peel, honey, vanilla.
A bit on the simple side, but a nice blend (my last was an Italian Sparkler).
86 pts. (3400 views) | | | Tasted by Zoltán Németi on 5/10/2011 & rated 91 points: No notes taken. Fresh, balanced, incredibly delicious and drinkable. (3686 views) | | | Tasted by azahoner on 12/8/2010 & rated 86 points: Pale straw hue, tropical fruit nose, really dense, sweet and full bodied. A bit pinched in the middle to be honest. I am starting to guess these type of wines are becoming very popular as they are easier to drink. (3979 views) | | | Tasted by Jochems on 9/12/2010 & rated 89 points: Full aromas of tropical fruit and some distinct minerality. Full bodied on the palate with great mouthfeel and serious acidity, slightly off-dry. And a long and spicy finish. (1704 views) | | | Tasted by trevligaviner on 8/18/2010 & rated 89 points: Härlig balans med fin syra, mjuka örter, något smörig. Lång eftersmak (1765 views) |

| Zind-Humbrecht Producer website
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the stars of the Alsace, in the northeastern corner of France. Fought over for decades by Germany and France, the region, according to Robert M. Parker Jr., “is perhaps the most underrated and underutilized source of great white wines in the world.” Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by Leonard Humbrecht and Genevieve Zind. Their son Olivier is now instrumental in running the 99-acre estate, which the family still owns. Like many Alsatian producers, Zind-Humbrecht makes white wines in varying degrees of sweetness, from dessert whites to very dry wines. The vineyards are planted to 30% Riesling, 30% Gewurztraminer, 29% Pinot Gris, and smaller amounts of Pinot Noir, Muscat, Chardonnay, Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc. Up to 18,000 cases are produced annually. Many are Grand Crus and single vineyard bottlings.
