Wine Reviews

The 2021 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl is from older plots of Gewurztraminer in the upper part of Windsbuhl on Triassic limestone. Its nose displays honey, lemon-edged rose petals and fresh ginger. While the nose signals sweetness, the palate is bone-dry, super-textured and shows full-on pithiness, shimmering with bitter almond and marzipan. The wine is dry, playing with your senses – a fantastic game that sets the tastebuds on high alert. The lemon zest finish is full of spice and really long. Wow

A super-clean and crisp wine for gewurz with an intensely chalky minerality that takes your breathe away. So clean and bright it’s light years away from what anybody expects from this grape. Lovely zesty citrusy freshness at the finish.

Racy acidity backs a rich range of baked peach, glazed pink grapefruit and Graham cracker flavor in this well-balanced white. Floral, saline and spice notes echo on the lively finish.

A rich and silky white is off-dry in style, with zesty hints of grapefruit peel and fleur de sel working with the succulent acidity to enliven flavors of litchi, melon, tea rose and lemon pâte de fruits. The grapefruit zest and a tang of salinity return to drive the finish.

Very fragrant nose of yellow and pink roses with plenty of turkish delight. Very concentrated, but the fine tannins and excellent freshness (in spite of modest acidity) give this a wonderful balance, which makes this frankly off-dry gewurz hard to resist. And the turkish-delight finish is also something else! From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
