The 2021 Weinbach Alsace Altenbourg Gewürztraminer is a beautifully crafted wine from Domaine Weinbach in Alsace, France. This vintage boasts a pale golden hue, reminiscent of a warm summer sunset. On the nose, aromas of ripe tropical fruit, such as mango and pineapple, dance with delicate floral notes of rose and honeysuckle. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a luscious texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of lychee, apricot, and ginger mingle with a touch of honey, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a hint of spice on the tongue. This Gewürztraminer is a true showcase of Alsace's terroir, with its expertly balanced flavors and aromas. It pairs beautifully with spicy Asian dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as a delightful aperitif. Overall, this wine is a true expression of the quality and craftsmanship of Domaine Weinbach.

So many pink rose, jasmine and orchid aromas that you can’t resist falling into the super-sensual embrace of this dreamy gewurz that makes you feel you have been transported back to Versailles in the period of Louis XIV and Madame de Pompadour. Dangerously long and lingering finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
