From Domaine Zind-Humbrecht in France's Alsace region, the Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl 2022 is a refined 100% Gewurztraminer sourced from the monopole Clos Windsbuhl vineyard atop the village of Hunawihr, on south-southeast-facing slopes at 350 meters elevation with rocky Muschelkalk limestone soils rich in shells, clay, and chalk that impart exceptional structure and aging potential despite the site's cooler microclimate. Hand-harvested grapes from the warm yet balanced 2022 vintage—marked by dry, hot May and June yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit with the vineyard's altitude and forest providing cooling—undergo extended pressing, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in old oak barrels, and lees aging to enhance complexity and terroir expression. As a biodynamic pioneer since 1998 under Olivier Humbrecht, this production yields an intense yellow wine with remarkable depth and restraint.

Tasting Notes An elegant, structured white with intense minerality and subtle spice, reflecting Alsace's limestone terroir. The nose conveys a strong sense of place with light fruit and spicy aromas overshadowed by crushed rocks, dry herbs, and oregano; on the palate, it surprises with richness sustained by residual sweetness and vibrant fruit like candied lemon, orange, juicy pear, ripe mirabelle, and yellow peach, leading to a delicately balanced, slowly evolving finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2022 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl earned 96 points from James Suckling for its concentrated richness and structural poise.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with foie gras, spicy Asian cuisine, or blue cheeses. Enjoy now through 2040, developing profound honeyed and tertiary nuances over time.
