Gewurztraminer
About this wine
Gewurztraminer grown on the granite-sand soils of the Schlossberg Grand Cru, the steep south-facing hillside above Kientzheim. Multiple vintages of this cuvée (bottled first as Anne Boecklin, later as Anne de Laweiss) have been recognized in the Guide Hachette des Vins, including a two-star rating.
An aromatic, opulent Gewurztraminer that shows why the grape is Alsace's signature variety.
Sommelier's Note
"Schlossberg's granite gives this Gewurztraminer a tighter, more mineral backbone than the variety's usual softness — spice and stone fruit with real grip."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with semi-cooked foie gras, roasted poultry, Munster cheese, and Asian dishes with warm spice; also enjoyable on its own as an aperitif.
