It has noticeable residual sweetness balanced by natural acidity — off-dry to medium-sweet rather than bone dry.

How is it different from the Grand Cru Rosacker Gewurztraminer?

Muehlforst is a lieu-dit bordering Rosacker with similar limestone soils, but Rosacker's official Grand Cru status and lower yields typically give even greater concentration and aging potential.

What food pairing works best?

Munster cheese, foie gras, and richly spiced dishes are classic; it also pairs well with teriyaki-glazed proteins.

About Gewurztraminer Lieu-dit Muehlforst

Style: White
Grape Varieties: Gewurztraminer
Price Range: $24-28
Alcohol: 14%

A single-site Gewurztraminer from the Muehlforst lieu-dit, Hunawihr's largest named vineyard, bordering the Rosacker Grand Cru. Complex aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, apricot, and pepper lead to an ample, refined palate with elegant residual sweetness balanced by natural acidity.

Sommelier's Note

This is Gewurztraminer with real precision — the site's limestone keeps the exotic fruit from turning heavy.

New to wine?

More concentrated and complex than the Réserve — a great next step for Gewurztraminer fans.

Food Pairings

Ideal with Munster cheese, foie gras, and richly spiced Asian dishes; its ripe fruit and gentle sweetness also complement teriyaki-glazed dishes.

When to drink it

Foie gras course, spiced Asian dinner, special occasion

Terroir & Winemaking

Grapes from the Muehlforst lieu-dit on limestone soils; whole-cluster reception, gentle pressing, cool fermentation in stainless steel with a portion of residual sugar retained, no oak.
