Cave de Turckheim
Alsace Gewürztraminer
Turckheim, Alsace, France
Gewürztraminer is so underrated, and this is actually really tasty dispite everyones ratings. Lots of body and balance. Great fruit lychee tropical melon perfume rose petal apples honeysuckle. Ends with a nice tropical honey. Only negative is could use a bit more acidity. Drink asap!

The 2013 Cave de Turckheim Gewürztraminer ($28 SRP) possesses heady, floral and citrus aromas; a soft, textured mouthfeel; rich, ripe tropical and stone fruit flavors and a near-perfect integration of sweetness and acidity. Combined with the warm, spicy brown Kung Pao sauce, it's euphoric on the palate. (sample)

Lychee aroma and flavour; pear and a hint of ginger. Starts quite sweet but doesn't linger. Very light with minimal acid.

Lacking a little structure. Taste is tropical and lychee but a little thinner than some gerwurst
