Domaine Albert Mann - Alsace - Gewurztraminer - White - 2023

Wine:

Sourced from the estate’s finest limestone and gravel parcels—including some classified as Grand Cru—the 2023 Gewurztraminer White from Alsace delivers remarkable precision and freshness, paired with the generous ripeness of the vintage.
