Zind Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Hengst GC 2024
DOZEN: $1,644.00 or $137.00 each
Deep yellow color. On the nose, this wine conveys a sensation of power and firmness. Still restrained, it slowly opens up to reveal strongly spicy aromas, ripe fruit, cured meats, and even smoked ham! The palate is precise and coats the mouth. The signature of the vintage is evident in its firm, juicy, and structured acidity. The wine's power is controlled by its acidic structure and beautiful bitterness, which brings intense salivation on the finish. Like many 2024 wines, this wine will need to be decanted when young. It is a great wine to enjoy with a meal. OLIVIER HUMBRECHT MW
Notes on the 2023 release: It's hard to wrap your head around the supernatural vitality and mineral freshness of this incredibly concentrated dry gewurz. The saline minerality and Amalfi lemon freshness are so dynamic and intense. The purity of the finish is far from what most of the world associates with this grape. From biodynamically grown grapes.
