Domaine Albert Boxler Alsace - Gewurztraminer Réserve Blanc 2019

Wine:

Made from three superb limestone terroirs around Turckheim and Katzenthal, on vines between 35 and 70 years old, the 2019 White Alsace Gewurztraminer Réserve is a gorgeous wine! Semi-dry in style (35 g/l sugar), it retains a lovely acidic punch. The nose is intense, between flowers and spices, the palate follows with a great amplitude and freshness.
