The nose shows subtle floral notes, typical of the Gewurztraminer grape variety, but also complex, slightly reductive, mineral, leather and spicy/peppery aromas. It almost feels like the scent one would get after a rainfall on the pebbles of this vineyard. It will benefit from air (carafe) and will continue to open up with age. The palate is vigorous, elegant and full of energy. Bone dry, with a velvety tannic texture, the palate shows an almost light red wine structure with a salivating finish. This wine will be excellent with food (grilled fish, prawns, light spicy food).

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.

An unusual, but terrific, blend showing off Alsace's grape varieties in a supergroup line up. The spiciness of Gewurz; the grapiness of Muscat; the body of Pinot Gris; the backbone of Riesling; and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. The resulting wine is fresh and characterful. Aroma and flavours of lemon, tropical fruit and white peaches, floral notes and petroleum. Additional flavours on the palate of pineapple and ground white pepper. Dry medium plus bodied wine. Good length. A super complex wine and fabulous value. Vegan, Biodynamic agriculture

Fruity and floral on the nose with crispiness and medium+ acidity as a contrast on the palate. Outstanding Riesling that is several steps ahead of any other regular/basic house Riesling. Citrus, grapefruit, hints of honey and minerals. Vegan, Biodynamic agriculture
