Gewurztraminer
About this wine
Grown alongside the Riesling on Rosacker's dolomitic limestone, this Grand Cru Gewurztraminer shows ripe peach, rose-water, and lychee aromas with an off-dry, floral character. Gentle and charming on the palate, kept vivid by lemony freshness through a lasting, off-dry finish.
Aromatic and generous but never heavy — a Grand Cru that's approachable even for newcomers to the grape.
Sommelier's Note
"Rosacker's limestone keeps this Gewurztraminer honest — exotic and floral, but never cloying."
Food Pairings
A classic pairing with foie gras, Munster cheese, and richly spiced dishes such as Alsatian baeckeoffe with exotic spice; also excellent with roasted duck.
