It is Steinert Flaxman. Xmas 2025 Red 6. At the first hr of decanting was rather dissapointing but after 2 hrs the tannin mellow and the strawberry and mineral. I can feel the quality of the wine at the end. it is smooth — 6 months ago

Gewurztraminer from the Zinnkoepflé Grand Cru - known for producing exceptional, very aromatic Gewurztraminer. Located above the villages of Soultzmatt and Westhalten (west of Colmar), the Zinnkoepflé takes its name from “Sonne Koepflé” - the local name given to small circular marine fossils found in its
predominantly sandstone-limestone soils (some examples on display at the winery). Fragrant, round, smooth. — 5 years ago

Simply amazing. I would guess we’re talking ca 100 grams of RS here, but sooo balanced. Lots of orange and mandarin flavours, complicated by spice and hints of marzipan. Ripe peach too. In some magical way, the acidity, minerality and structure manage to hold this bold wine together. Very, very long finish. I wish more people will explore these unique wines. Foie Gras, yes please. — 8 years ago

Riesling from the Breitenberg vineyard in Westhalten. Vines are about 35 years old and rooted in sandstone (buntsandstein) soils. Pale golden color. Delicate nose with aromas of citrus (lemon, lime), mineral, saline. Citrus on the palate (mostly lime). Zesty acidity. Long finish. Saline notes. Really refreshing — 5 years ago

Light straw unfiltered in the glass. VA strong at first on the nose with oxidized forward, mellowing out nicely as it opened and smelling of ripe toasted fruits. Full bodied and round with good acidity cutting through. Tasting of tropical fruit, bananas, and melon with a fresh spiciness. Overall, a lovely and complex Gewurtz from Alsace - big and bold and fun to drink. Pairs well with gnocchi and ricotta. — 5 years ago

Celebrating Bastille Day with the spring dinner of the Confrerie St Etienne of Alsace association. Wonderful menu and perfectly paired wines.

Lemon and pear. Repeat. Lots of reductive notes on this wine. Not sure I would have called Alsatian Riesling blind. Hardly any petrol. Viscous. Definitely best served chilled. Once it warmed, the flavors became too melded (lots of pear, lemon tart, and stone fruit). Needs time. — 8 years ago

This is perhaps the biggest bargain around if you can find it. Refreshing, fragrant, and tones of pear along with other fleshy fruits. At around $10, if you want a great light summertime wine, this is it! — 9 years ago

Somewhat honeyed but with still-great acidity. Orange-ish in color and a nose and finish that remind me of tokaji. Delicious! — 10 years ago

2011 vintage. Marc Humbrecht is the 13th generation winemaker of this small Alsace estate ( 6 hectares under vine). This 11 years old Gewürztraminer from the Steinert Grand Cru vineyard is simply stunning. Intense perfume of lychee and rose petals. Obvious residual sugar (the back label indicates a 4 out of 6 sweetness level), that beautifully balances out the typical spicy bitterness of this grape variety. It is layered, complex and very long. If you like lychee you will love this one! — 4 years ago
