Domaine Zind-Humbrecht ★ 4.4

Like many top Alsatian whites, Zind-Humbrecht's wines are typically unfined or use mineral fining agents (bentonite) rather than animal-derived fining. The estate's biodynamic and minimal-intervention philosophy makes most cuvees suitable for vegans.

Tip: Ask the estate to confirm fining practice vintage by vintage; fine white Alsace is often vegan-friendly thanks to bentonite or no-fining protocols.
