The scent of a Charentais melon combines with pure plums and quince, lychee and nutmeg, bergamot, bitter orange marmalade, tobacco and damp stone. Yes, the Steingrubler Grand Cru is once again a wonderfully complex wine, and all its components seem finely interwoven.

Nose

The Gewurztraminer from the lower part of the southeast-facing chalky Grand Cru site Steingrubler in Wettolsheim, Alsace, offers an invitingly fragrant and spicy aroma that presents itself fresh and cool at the same time. Here, the scent of a Charentais melon combines with Reineclauden and quince, lychee and nutmeg, bergamot, bitter orange marmalade, tobacco and damp stone. Yes, the Steingrubler Grand Cru is once again a wonderfully complex wine, and all its components work finely together.

Palate

An opulent and at the same time fine Gewurztraminer builds up on a mineral, sinewy and energetic basic structure as well as a rather restrained and yet clearly perceptible acidity typical for the variety. All the fruits and spices that already determined the fragrance play reappear here in a meltingly creamy and spicy form. The Grand Cru is influenced by the 29 grams of residual sugar, but at the same time this wine is full of elegance and vitality.
