The fruitiest and spiciest: a unique wine. It is in Alsace that this grape variety reaches all its perfection. Its dry character allows lovers to enjoy it as an aperitif or accompanied by specialties with a strong personality. Pairs well with spicy fish or meat, spicy exotic dishes, soft cheeses (the inevitable Munster), a spicy steak tartare, some desserts, and many others.

Plenty of spice (mostly allspice and cinnamon) on the nose, but what makes this stand out in the field of regular quality Alsace gewurztraminers is the excellent balance, with lively acidity and a hint of tannin that underlines this at the clean finish. Unusually food-friendly for this grape.

Equal parts ripe fruit and oily bitterness, with plush richness to the dried apricot and singed orange peel notes set against bitter green herbs and radish, which add a savory dimension. A vein of mineral-rich acidity cuts through, and citrus blossom, ginger and smoke details hang on the finish. A great example of a serious, balanced Gewurz, offering complexity with age. Drink now through 2029. 10,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported.
