About this wine
An intensely aromatic Alsace Gewurztraminer with a powerful nose of lychee, exotic spice, and rose petal. Off-dry and full-bodied on the palate, with vibrant acidity keeping the exuberant fruit and floral character balanced.
The most instantly recognizable Alsace grape — floral, exotic, and unmistakably perfumed.

クロ・デュ・ザナケール
Clos du Zahnacker
WhiteRiesling · Pinot Gris · Gewurztraminer
Cave de Ribeauvillé's rarest and most historic cuvée: a field blend of equal parts Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, co-harvested, co-pressed, and co-fermented from a single 1.24-hectare walled parcel within the Osterberg Grand Cru. Documented since the 8th century and exclusive to the cooperative since 1965, it shows a powerful, complex nose mixing Riesling's petrol edge, Pinot Gris's smokiness, and Gewurztraminer's rose and spice, with citrus, fig, and gunflint on a full, structured palate.
