Muscat Moenchreben de Rorschwihr 2019 Rolly Gassmann

Rolly-Gassmann is a domaine like no other and has a unique style. It is located at Rorschwihr, a sleepy village on the northern rim of Haut-Rhin. The vineyards are located in Rorschwihr and the neighbouring Rodern and Bergheim. The wines are small masterpieces with very good definition. They all carry the signature of Rolly-Gassmann, a certain shameless, velvety sweetness. The fruit is rich and manages to balance the fruit with a vibrant acidity to form wines that melt on the palate.

Sheltered from oceanic influence by the Vosges Mountains, the Alsace wine region enjoys practically the lowest rainfall in France (only 400-500mm per year) and is blessed with a semi-continental climate, sunny, hotand dry. These optimal weather conditions, along with a nice and cool fall season, allow the grapes to ripen slowly and to develop an amazing complexity of aromas. Overt Riesling character at once, with baked tertiary fruit. Evolving. A touch musky. Great balance at 90g/l RS. Not cloying, rather Tarte au Citron. Hugely persistent.

Gewurztraminer Roche Calcaire 2019 Dom. Zind-Humbrecht

This is an astonishing and almost perfect expression of Gewurztraminer; floral, smoky and spicy, then terrific concentration and balance and length, with some juicy sweetness detectable and adding to the enjoyment of the whole. Very, very fine. The sedimentary limestone geology, mostly located on the Vosges mountains foothills in Alsace, has always been the prime choice for producing long lived and structured Gewurztraminer wines. The presence of clay, more or less important, brings a cooler element in the soil, slowing down the ripeness process and preserving better acidity. The presence of limestone influences the aromatic profile and texture of the wine. They become more spicy, less floral, with a recognisable tighter tannic structure so crucial for the balance of the wine. Gewurztraminer, more than any other in Alsace, requires an accomplished skin ripeness. Failing so can end up in an over aromatic, not complex and bitter wine. The quality of the terroir will help greatly, but so does harvesting later! Since the acidity is naturally low, harvesting later isn’t affecting the wine as much as other grapes that would suffer more from acidity loss. All the grapes going into this wine are sourced from the estate's top single vineyards or Grands Crus, where they use the 'younger' vines. Pale yellow colour. The nose shows a restraint, almost mineral, smoky aromatic expression, so typical from a limestone soil. It eventually opens up and reveals ripe citrus, exotic fruits in a very elegant way. The palate shows a surprising freshness and acidity, and finishes with a balanced delicate sweetness. Clearly this wine will benefit from further ageing in order to allow it to express its full potential.

This wine is produced from the oldest vines located on the Herrenweg vineyard in Turckheim. This vineyard enjoys extremely precocious growing conditions. The vines benefit from the opening of the Munster valley and therefore get a couple hours more sunshine in the evening. The valley floor soil is made of big pebbles mixed with fine sands and silt. It increases drainage but also allows for the heat to penetrate the soil much faster in spring. Budbreak is early (putting sometimes the vines at risk of frost) and everything after happens earlier, to the harvest! These very old vines are all high quality massal selections. The clusters are smaller and they have a more discreet complex aromatic profile. The skin of the berries is also thicker, tighter, which means that the wines from such grapes get better phenolic concentration. Tannins are very important for Gewurztraminer, just like a red wine, they bring structure and ageing potential. The 2019 vintage shows a certain concentration and richness. The wine finished its fermentation with a medium sweet balance. Pale yellow colour. The nose shows intense rich fruity (exotic) aromas with some ancient rose aromatics. Quite persistent, powerful, it is a classic medium sweet Gewurztraminer with a beautiful inviting flavour profile. The palate is immediately showing a beautiful velvety texture, quite powerful and finishes with concentrated tannins and a firm structure. The old vines are clearly influencing this wine which is elevated from a simple varietal status and gets a strong rocky feel.
