Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Brand Grand Cru

Riesling is known as one of the greatest food wines around, and for good reason. These white wines are light, crisp, high in acidity, and traditionally a little bit sweet—all characteristics that make pairing a breeze. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht’s Riesling Brand Grand Cru is no exception. Sourced entirely from their Brand vineyard, which is planted exclusively with Riesling vines, it has just a touch of residual sugar, a vibrant palate, and lovely complex aromas that will elevate even your most casual, last-minute weekday dinner.

Tasting Notes

A complex nose, quite discreet, with wet stones and ripe fruits. Vibrant, intense and long on the palate.
