Wine:

Semi-dry in style (20 g/l sugar), the 2020 White Alsace Gewurztraminer offers a deep version of this grape variety. No overpowering perfume, the notes of fresh cumin and rose come together in great harmony. The maturity and the typicity of the grape variety are not absent, but the wine seduces first by its smoothness and its mineral imprint. A very nice Gewurztraminer to be associated with a matured farmhouse Munster cheese or a spicy cuisine.

Color:

Bright golden yellow.

Nose:

Aromas of fresh cumin mixed with notes of rose.
