The 2023 Gewurztraminer Lieu-Dit Harth opens with a clear, fresh, spicy and typically aromatic nose with aromas of lychee, rose petal and candied lemon zest intermingled with a spicy/flinty, even peppery and gingery terroir note. Based on low-yielding 50- to 75-year-old vines (massal selections), this is a full-bodied, dense, intense, elegant, finely tannic and spicy Gewürztraminer from the plain of Colmar. This is a beautifully textured and structured Gewurztraminer with delicate acidity and serious structure. The finish is stimulatingly salty, bitter and finely tannic. The eight grams of residual sugar taste anything but sweet and underline the perfect ripeness at harvest time. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Colmar, November 2024.

The 2023 Gewurztraminer Lieu-Dit Harth Cuvée Caroline is from an old massal selection. It has just a slight note of honeysuckle spice on the nose. The palate plunges into beautiful, juicy, smooth white peach flesh with a touch of nectarine and svelte body. Mandarin peel and lemon freshness define the palate, swallowing the 8 g/L of residual sweetness with much verve. Schoffit says it might be the driest Gewurztraminer they ever made. (Dry)
