About this wine
The house's signature varietal, made in an off-dry style with pronounced litchi, rose, and spice aromatics. Typical vintages show roughly 17-18 g/l residual sugar balanced by the variety's naturally low acidity, giving a rounded, aromatic profile.
The easiest way to understand what makes Gewurztraminer famous — heady rose and litchi in a glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Willm Gewurztraminer Réserve sweet?
- It's off-dry, with roughly 17-18 g/l residual sugar balanced by the grape's naturally soft acidity — noticeably fruitier than a dry white, but not a dessert wine.
- What does it smell like?
- Classic Gewurztraminer aromatics: litchi, rose petal, and warm spice, with a rounded, perfumed palate.
- Should it be served very cold?
- A moderate chill (around 10-12°C) is better than ice-cold, which can mute its aromatics.
