The North of 9 tasting group sampled five different ‘Gewurtz’ last week at our monthly tasting session and unfortunately this Alsace label was unavailable at that time. Wonderful fruit – peach, lychee, and some grapefruit; sweeter than most with great balance and lovely honey aftertaste. Nice on its own or with an Asian dish. I really enjoyed this!

This wine met the mouth with a gush of rosewater that quickly transformed into lychee fruit. It was a tad fat as compared to a typical Alsace gewurtz. This disappointment may be in part explained by its non-typical amount of sweetness; it was not dry to Alsacian standards and acidity was muted. What to pair with it? We concluded it was good on its own as an apertif.
