The aromatic expression of this grape variety dominates, the very definition of the Alsace Gewurztraminer, well anchored in the dry and balanced style of the Trimbach family. Its very elegant bouquet, its crunchiness and its notes of roses, lychee and citrus fruit lead to a lively and fresh finish.

Its dry character and generous bouquet are easily enjoyable as an aperitif, or accompanied by specialties with strong and spicy personalities, including Indian cuisine with a chicken tandoori, Thaï cuisine with green curry, beef with the five spices Chinese mix, a spicy steak tartare and some desserts.

Plenty of spice (mostly allspice and cinnamon) on the nose, but what makes this stand out in the field of regular quality Alsace gewurztraminers is the excellent balance, with lively acidity and a hint of tannin that underlines this at the clean finish. Unusually food-friendly for this grape. Drink now.

Equal parts ripe fruit and oily bitterness, with plush richness to the dried apricot and singed orange peel notes set against bitter green herbs and radish, which add a savory dimension. A vein of mineral-rich acidity cuts through, and citrus blossom, ginger and smoke details hang on the finish. A great example of a serious, balanced Gewürz, offering complexity with age. Drink now through 2029. 10,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported.
