Gewürztraminer 2024

Wine Description for Gewürztraminer 2024 from Domaine Albert Mann

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, crystalline golden yellow – radiant and inviting in the glass, with a brilliance that already promises maturity and substance.

Nose

What Albert Mann brings to the glass here is Gewürztraminer in its most elegant form. No loud exoticism, no clumsy perfume – but rather a finely woven bouquet of saffron, nutmeg and rose, which combines with juicy apricot, kumquats, passion fruit and ripe melon. A hint of curry lends the whole a subtle, oriental depth. The aromas float – they don’t impose themselves, they seduce.

Palate

On the palate, this Gewürztraminer surprises with a freshness and vibrancy that one doesn’t always expect from the variety. Despite a perceptible rondeur – a pleasant fullness and roundness – the wine feels remarkably dry and juicy. The fruit is bright and ripe, yet it is the spice of stone, white pepper and Indian spice notes that elevate the wine into a different league. Finesse rather than weight – that is the hallmark of this estate.

Finish

Long, spicy-mineral and characterised by lingering freshness. The spice notes resonate without becoming tiresome – a finish that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

Alsace provides ideal conditions for Gewürztraminer with its continental climate and diverse soils – from granite to limestone. The Mann family in Wettolsheim has been among the region’s most reliable addresses for decades, with a clear commitment to biodynamic viticulture.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A classic companion to foie gras and Alsatian Munster cheese. Equally convincing with Thai curry, Moroccan couscous with lamb or pan-fried halibut with saffron sauce. For those who prefer something simpler: goat’s cheese with honey.

Special Features

Domaine Albert Mann ranks among the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Alsace. This entry-level Gewürztraminer impressively demonstrates that varietal typicity and elegance are not a contradiction – and that 2024, despite all climatic challenges, writes a promising chapter in the vintage story.
