It’s no wonder Gewurztraminer is one of the four noble grape varieties in Alsace, France. 👏👏👏 It’s uniquely expressive, perfumed, rich, and oily with youthful and pronounced aromas 👃 of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. 🤩🤩🤩
👁 This wine is deep gold. 👄 It’s dry with a modicum of residual sugar. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, and pronounced flavors, consistent with the nose, including notes of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. The finish is medium(+).
We’ve paired this wine with grilled vegan brats and roasted zucchini.

Medium straw color. Aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, dried rose petals (faint) and slate. Palate is full of tropical fruit, unripe peach, pear, melon and ginger. A touch of RS but lovely acidity to balance it. Medium finish, body and alcohol. Great mouthfeel. Easy drinker. Aging beautifully! Thanks for sharing this one, Kevin Z. — 9 months ago
A little toward the semi-sweet but still a crispness and great lychee fruit throughout. — 3 years ago
