Steingold is a unique cuvée from Cave de Pfaffenheim, crafted by blending grapes sourced from two prestigious Grand Cru vineyards: Steinert and Goldert. While the wine does not carry the Grand Cru appellation, it benefits from the exceptional terroir of these sites, characterized by limestone and marl soils. This Gewurztraminer exhibits an intense aromatic profile, featuring classic notes of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices. On the palate, it is rich, opulent, and well-structured, balancing its natural aromatic intensity with a refined acidity and a long, persistent finish that reflects the quality of its prestigious origins.
This wine is a masterful blend, offering the prestige of Grand Cru terroir at an accessible price point — its aromatic intensity is worth discovering.
