Cave de Turckheim Sables et Galets Gewurztraminer 2015 Description
After more than a decade in bottle, this 2015 Gewurztraminer has evolved into a beautifully mature expression.
The initial floral and citrus notes have deepened into honeyed stone fruit and candied ginger, with subtle oxidative complexity adding layers of dried apricot and toasted almond. The wine's youthful exuberance has mellowed into elegant restraint - the vibrant acidity remains bright and focused, but now serves as a refined counterpoint to richer, more developed fruit character. Spice notes have become more integrated and sophisticated, while the structure shows impressive aging potential with a silky, persistent finish.
This is a wine at its peak, offering the best of both worlds: the varietal character of Gewürztraminer with the nuance and depth that only time can provide.
Try with blue cheeses, exotic cuisine such as the lemongrass flavours of Thai food or fish/chicken curries.
