Cave de Turckheim Grand Cru Brand Gewurztraminer 2019 Description
The wine has developed beautifully with age, revealing deeper layers of complexity. The initial aromatics of lychee and rose have evolved into honeyed stone fruit and subtle almond notes, while the spice profile has mellowed into warm, integrated pepper and clove.
On the palate, maturity has brought enhanced richness and a silky texture, with the acidity remaining vibrant and refined. The pink grapefruit marmalade character has intensified, now complemented by hints of dried apricot and candied citrus peel.
The structure remains impressively elegant despite the wine's fuller body, with a lingering finish that showcases both the wine's power and its graceful balance.
This is a Gewurztraminer at its peak, offering the best of both worlds - the exotic fruit character the variety is known for, combined with the sophistication that only proper maturation can achieve.
The richness and honeyed, exotic fruit flavours are fabulous with a rich pat or foie gras, but give this a try with your stinkiest soft cheese (Munster or Stinking Bishop) and, perhaps surprisingly, with a tarte tatin.
