Tasting notes

Pale straw with green highlights. Lemon oil, white flowers and green apple lead, with a chalky, faintly smoky mineral note behind. The palate is slender and beautifully drawn, its citrus fruit stretched over cool, bracing acidity and a distinct limestone grip. The finish is dry, saline and very long, echoing lime pith and crushed shell.

About this wine

Clos Windsbuhl is a walled monopole above Hunawihr, one of the coolest and highest sites Zind-Humbrecht farms. Its limestone and marl soils ripen slowly, which lets Riesling keep a tense, almost austere line even in warm years.

Harvested by hand and pressed in whole bunches, the wine ferments with indigenous yeasts in large neutral casks and rests on its lees without filtration. The estate has worked the clos biodynamically for decades and treats it as a benchmark for cool-climate Alsace Riesling.

Precise, chalky and built for a long life in bottle.
