Schoffit
Lieu-Dit Harth Cuvée Caroline Gewurztraminer
Alsace, France
Love this wine. I know Gewurz is out of style these days, and you can’t drink it all the time, but, damn, I get these cravings for it sometimes. This one’s nose is a bit more complex than lots of Gewurz’s. A feral muskiness, along with orchids and lychee nut. Also a nice note of stony minerality. On the palate it has nice concentration and a sensuous texture. Ripe fruit up front that turns minerally and a little savory in the extended finish. Slightly sweet, but there is a slight bitter note in the finish that plays against it. I really like this.
