The 2022 Alsace Grand Cru Furstentum Gewurztraminer opens with a deep, pure, perfectly ripe, intense and concentrated yet also refined Gewürztraminer nose intermingled with notes of crushed limestone. Full-bodied and generous yet still pure and saline, this is a rich but refined, elegant and very precise Gewürztraminer from one of the grape's most favorite places, the Furstentum. It is finely bitter on the mineral and almost peppery finish that almost tastes dry. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.

This extremely concentrated gewurz really shows what overripeness of the grapes does for the wines of this very underrated grape variety. Like the essence of pomelo. Very compact core in which the ample fine tannins and a touch of bitterness are already beautifully integrated. Super-long finish that’s barely off-dry, which is insane for a wine with 45 g/L of residual sugar. Decades of aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
