Gewürztraminer Alsace Grand Cru Pfersigberg, Organic, Emile Beyer

The Grand Cru of Pfersigberg means “peach hill”, taking its name from the abundance of peach trees that were once abundent there. Mainly dedicated to Riesling, the planting of Gewürztraminer makes up only a few plots. The nose is slightly spicy with hints of rose, along with mango, guava and passion fruit. Full bodied with good structure and balanced acidity and great length on the finish.

About the Wine

Gewürztraminer

Guh-VERTZ-truh-mean-er

Gewürztraminer is a very distinctive aromatic variety. It's often full bodied, almost oily in texture with typical tasting notes of lychees and rose and can be spicy. Sometimes off-dry it can make a delightful wine match to Asian foods. However, high alcohol can be common and too much spice can clash.

Flavours:

Apricot
Ginger
Grapefruit
Lychee
Rose

Only deep rooting vines in living soil enable all the subtleties of a wine with a strong identity to be expressed. This is why the Emile Beyer winery believe that a commitment to organic winemaking is essential. The relationship between a wine and the environment that produces it is an intimate one. It’s as much about history and culture as geology and climate. They see the role of a winemaker as being a creator of emotion, revealing in the wine, the essence of its origin.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
