Cave de Turckheim Grand Cru Brand Gewurztraminer 2020 Description
On the palate, this Gewurztraminer unfolds with layers of stone fruit and tropical notes - think ripe peach, apricot, and a whisper of mango - balanced by the wine's signature spice character. The mid-palate reveals honeyed richness with subtle mineral undertones that add complexity and prevent the wine from becoming cloying. Acidity cuts through beautifully, keeping the finish crisp and lively. The pink grapefruit marmalade note emerges more prominently as the wine opens, complemented by a gentle bitterness on the finish that speaks to the wine's structure and aging potential.
A touch of white pepper and candied ginger lingers, inviting another sip.
Best enjoyed slightly chilled to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and textural elegance.
The richness and honeyed, exotic fruit flavours are fabulous with a rich pate or foie gras, but give this a try with your stinkiest soft cheese (Munster or Stinking Bishop) and, perhaps surprisingly, with a tarte tatin.
