Stadtberg Eglisau Gewürztraminer
Stadtberg, Eglisau, Zürich, Switzerland
The un-Gewürztraminer. Beautifully floral, elegant and remarkably subtle, with none of the heaviness or aromatic excess the variety can so easily fall into. At just 12.4% alcohol, the wine has lovely freshness and poise, yet there is more body and structure here than usual. Serious, restrained and quietly expressive, with excellent balance and finesse. Gorgeous wine.
Much finer on day two, with more varietal expression but still dry, detailed and restrained, plus lanolin, superb acidity, rainwater purity and a beautifully bitter lychee finish. Almost 9.5.

Peach, lychee, rose, bergamot and white grapefruit. Hugely aromatic but never vulgar. So elegant and full of finesse, with real complexity and depth. I’ve never had a Gewürztraminer like this. 11.6% alcohol.

I agree wholeheartedly with @Lyle Fass on this one - elegant, subtle, restrained, clean Gewurz that is pure Swiss genius. It's a different side of the grape that we rarely see.
I only wish I had bought more bottles.
