Bottled under the Baron de Hoen label from the Mandelberg Grand Cru between Beblenheim and Mittelwihr, this Gewurztraminer is full-bodied and decidedly off-dry, with a honeyed bouquet of rose, allspice, grapefruit, lychee, pineapple, peach, apricot, incense, cinnamon and cantaloupe. Robust acidity keeps the fruit-driven richness in balance rather than syrupy, finishing on lingering stone fruit and floral notes. The 2019 vintage was awarded 95 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
A 95-point Decanter score for a cooperative bottling is no small feat — this is proof that Beblenheim's Mandelberg parcels rival any grower-estate Gewurztraminer in Alsace.
