Bought in Colmar, Elsass. This was the best Gewuerz I ever had in the last 20 years. Super tropical and complex but also high acidity and some tartness. Unlike other vintages very little residual sugar left per analysis of the winery. This was so good that I am considering to go back next year and visit the winery - I ran out of time this time. Could not find a US importer.

Jun 12th, 2026Gewurztraminer 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.

In a lovely spot now, aromatics on point—beeswax, pumpkin spice, hint of petrol. Palate is refreshing & well-structured. Beautiful & dry, lovely seeing this evolve after a decant.

Really nice match for roast duck in an apple almond curry sauce. More spicy than floral, off-dry.
