In early 2020, we picked up this Alsatian Grand Cru Gewurtztraminer. We wondered what the highest grade of Gewurtztraminer would show & tonight, 5.5 years later, we found out.
This tastes almost like Japanese Umeshu (plum wine) but with the sweetness exchanged for subtlety. Lychee & pineapple are at the forefront and it eases indulgently into Marzipan.
Great with curry and imagine it would be just as good with blue cheese.
