法國阿爾薩斯區 Zind-Humbrecht 酒莊簡介
早從 1620 年以來，Humbrecht 家族就一直在阿爾薩斯地區釀酒。西元 1959 年，Leonard Humbrecht 娶了 Geneviève Zind，這兩個家族的結合也誕生了 Zind-Humbrecht 酒莊，旗下所擁有的葡萄園無疑地是當今最亮眼的。他們釀造出濃郁與極具表現力的酒款忠實地反應出 terroir 的個性，目前擁有的葡萄園將近 40 公頃。平均年產量約 10,000 至 18,000 箱左右，75% 至 85% 外銷到其他國家。

Golden-yellow colored, the 2012 Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Hengst (from vines planted on the south, south-east-facing mid-slope in the 1930s and 1957) is a dense, super clear and very aromatic wine on the nose displaying deep and spicy mineral notes of oranges, lemons and spicy flavors. Very rich and oily textured, this is an intense and powerful yet highly elegant and nobly textured wine with a big structure, persistent tension and salinity -- a great Hengst with almost 15% alcohol (which is not necessarily a bad thing with Gewürztraminer) and 41 grams of unfermented sweetness. The piquant freshness and brilliance of this wine is remarkable, and so is the firm and tension-filled finish that indicates a great aging potential. Don't decant it, but wait for three or five or 25 years.
