Olivier Humbrecht MW is a twelfth generation Alsatian winemaker with a global reputation. He was still in his twenties when he took over Domaine Zind-Humbrecht and has taken it to new heights, using biodynamic practices across his 42 hectares of vineyards. Listen to us chat about soil types, climate change, the differences between Protestant and Catholic wines and why he loves holidays in Scotland.
