Zind Humbrecht picks Gonzalez Byass to drive UK sales

Published:  05 November, 2015

Alsace winery, Domaine Zind Humbrecht has appointed Gonzalez Byass as its exclusive UK distributor.

"The UK has been one of our largest markets for 30 years," said Olivier Humbrecht MW, owner and winemaker at Domaine Zind Humbrecht.

"Whilst Alsace wines have long been appreciated by enthusiasts there is still a job to do to introduce them to the general public.

"In Gonzalez Byass UK we have found a dedicated team that we are confident can take our wines to the next level as far as distribution and awareness is concerned.

"Being family owned and with a manageable portfolio of great estates, we believe Gonzalez Byass is a good fit for us, and trust the team to be our ambassadors in the UK."

Martin Skelton, managing director of Gonzalez Byass UK, said: "I have been a fan of Zind Humbrecht wines for as long as I can remember. Apart from the sheer deliciousness of the entire range, we admire the pioneering values of their family business and their respect for nature."

Gonzalez Byass UK will represent Zind Humbrecht from November 30.

Domaine Zind Humbrecht was founded in 1959 through the merger of the Humbrecht and Zind family vineyards. It has some 40 hectares under vine.

Winegrowers across the Alsace have reported the 2015 harvest to be of exceptional quality.

Many producers plan to produce Vendanges Tardives and Sélections de Grains Nobles wines this year.
