Info about the wine:

The Gewürztraminer grape has always been important in the village of Turckheim. The warm and dry climate of the great Val Müstair guarantees perfect ripeness. Gewürztraminer needs warmth and light to ripen properly. The best Gewürztraminer vineyards are on richer marl/limestone soils, but the gravelly soils of Turckheim perfectly develop the richness and beauty in the wines.

Color:

Sparkling straw yellow, bright reflections

Nose:

The nose stands for Alsace and Gewürztraminer like from a picture book, without smelling strikingly like rose water. Floral notes and also some nutmeg are already clearly perceptible in the nose, but also ripe pome and stone fruit like pear and apricot. Also exotic notes of mango and candied pineapple, as well as some Sharon fruit are to be discovered. Above all, however, it shines by its exotic spices like cardamom, turmeric and saffron.

Palate:

On the palate, the 2019 Gewürztraminer then shows typical Zind-Humbrecht. A vibrant, captivating acid structure fully enlivens the moment. The aromas of the nose show themselves in their best facet. It stands juicy in the glass and is wonderfully dominated by the acidity. The wine is internally classified as "indice 2", which means that analytically it is not one hundred percent dry, but sensory it is perceived as such.
