Description

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is a renowned wine producer located in the Alsace region of France. The estate has a long history dating back to the 17th century when it was founded by the Zind family. In 1959, the estate was acquired by Léonard Humbrecht, a winegrower from a neighboring village. Today, the estate is run by Léonard's son, Olivier Humbrecht, who is considered one of the most talented winemakers in France.

The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is known for its exceptional Riesling wines, and the Roche Roulée is one of their most popular offerings. The Roche Roulée is made from grapes grown on a steep, rocky hillside vineyard that is known for its unique terroir. The soil is composed of granite and gneiss, which gives the wine a distinctive mineral character.

The production of the Roche Roulée Riesling is done in a traditional style, with a focus on minimal intervention. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, and then gently pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented in large oak barrels using natural yeasts. The wine is aged in the same barrels for several months before being bottled.

The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of the Alsace terroir. It has a pale yellow color and a complex aroma of citrus, peach, and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a lively acidity and a long, mineral finish. The Roche Roulée Riesling is a perfect match for seafood, shellfish, and spicy Asian cuisine.

Overall, the Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is a producer that is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Alsace region. Their Roche Roulée Riesling is a testament to their commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and their passion for producing exceptional wines.

If you are looking for a wine that is both delicious and unique, the Roche Roulée Riesling from Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is definitely worth trying.
