Cave de Beblenheim
Gewurztraminer
About this wine
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.
Gewurztraminer's signature perfume in its most concentrated Grand Cru form — an eye-opening pour for newcomers to the variety.
Sommelier's Note
"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."
Food Pairings

A Gewurztraminer from the Froehn Grand Cru in Zellenberg, a vineyard where Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer provide unparalleled volume and generosity.

Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Schoenenbourg
WhiteRiesling
A Riesling from the Schoenenbourg Grand Cru near Riquewihr, a south-facing marl-limestone hillside long considered one of Alsace's finest Riesling terroirs. Classic, fine and elegant in an off-dry style with depth of flavour, showing rich apricot and apple blossom aromas followed by a mineral lift. In riper vintages the wine turns golden with intense candied-fruit aromas, revealing a powerful, fat, honeyed character atypical for a dry-leaning Riesling.
