About the wine
Stunning Alsace Gewurtz from a 6th Generation Winemaker
- Jean-Claude is totally in tune with his vineyards. He believes the unique combination of the soil, the air, the sun and the wind on his land all contribute to the flavours in his wines.
- His vineyard is exclusively handpicked and pressing is carried out by pneumatic press. The juice flows by gravity down in the cellar where the fermentation starts with native yiests in traditional oak vats. Wines are aged on their lees and for several months and filtered before bottling with a minimum amount of sulphites added at that stage to avoir premature oxidation.
- "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." - Jean-Claude, Winemaker

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.
