Domaine Zind-Humbrecht

The Humbrecht family has been growing vines in Alsace since 1620; Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was established in 1959 and is now run by Olivier, Margaret and Pierre-Emile Humbrecht. The estate covers 42 hectares across several terroirs, including Herrenweg, Heimbourg and Clos Jebsal in Turckheim. It has been farmed biodynamically since 1997 and organically certified since 1998. A 22-strong team works largely by hand in the vineyard, using its own compost and, in some cases, animal traction. In the cellar, the wines ferment slowly and remain on their full lees for at least six months.
