Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A bright golden yellow shines in the glass.
Nose
The wine displays a classically precise expression. Intense notes of rose, peony, lilac and lily of the valley blend with hints of nutmeg, candied fruit and a fine touch of pepper.
Palate
On the palate, it reveals a silky texture with impressive acidity and elegant ripeness, far removed from any heaviness. A vibrant underlying minerality provides palpable drive, bestowing a dense, multi-layered structure upon the wine.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes hail from Turckheim, more specifically from the gravelly alluvial soils of the Herrenweg site in Alsace. This terroir allows the grapes to ripen early and rapidly – a crucial factor in today’s changing climate.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Crafted from 100% Gewürztraminer sourced from vines with an impressive average age of around 52 to 55 years. Yielding a moderate 49 hl/ha and with a pH of 3.7, the wine matured to dryness in large oak casks.
Food Pairings
Thanks to its balanced structure, this Gewürztraminer proves to be a superb partner at the dining table. It pairs masterfully with robust washed-rind cheeses, aromatic Asian dishes infused with ginger and lemongrass, or a spiced pumpkin soup with coriander.
Key Features
Although the fruit comes from the estate’s “younger” parcels, the vines already boast an impressive age of over five decades. Behind the domain is Olivier Humbrecht (Master of Wine), who has been running the traditional family estate according to certified biodynamic Demeter guidelines since 1997.
