Biodynamic. This stunning dry Gewurztraminer is drawn from a parcel of 40–50-year-old vines from the Wolfreben lieu-dit in the Kaysersberg valley between Clos des Capucins and the village of Kaysersberg. The soils are sandy silt over granite pebbles. Gewurztraminer in this terroir ripens early, producing wines with complex aromatics and powerful concentration.
With 10 g/L residual sugar, this is an explosively aromatic wine, redolent of white tea, pink pepper and peach skin. Although intense and viscous, it’s wonderfully refined, pure and savoury with classic Weinbach precision and detail. The juicy, driven finish is epic, studded with the mouth-watering freshness of orange zest and mineral steel. Although we would love to try this with the savoury/smoky tarte flambée—spicy Asian dishes should be the go-to.
