About the wine
Stunning Alsace Gewurtz from a 6th Generation Winemaker
- Jean-Claude is totally in tune with his vineyards. He knows them like the back of his hand and that they boast a totally unique combination of conditions - the quality of the soil and air, as well as the exposure to sunlight and wind here produce luxuriously intense flavours that are very hard to come by.
- He exclusively handpicks the best of the best from his vineyards before they are pressed and sent into the cellar for some TLC in traditional oak barrels.
- "Faint honeysuckle notes have an edge of lemon on the nose of this wine. The palate majors on youthful freshness, citrus aroma and fruity ease with its slender, off-dry body. This wine is vivacious and summery."

Food match
This Alsace Gewurztraminer will simply accompany your moments of conviviality and sharing and be an ideal companion for Tex-Mex, North-African and Indian food. It's aromatic power and off-dry body are perfect with spices like curry and pepper. Here in Alsace, we enjoy it with Munster cheese which is a soft and stinky cheese! I assume it will also be excellent with an old cheddar.
