Gewürztraminer Cuvée Anne Sélection Grains Nobles AC Alsace - luscious

A cuvée for special moments: This luscious Gewürztraminer from Alsace combines density and sweetness with lively freshness. The grapes come from the Grand Cru Kessler and were hand-picked.

The Domaines Schlumberger are among the well-known wineries of Alsace. For the Sélection de Grains Nobles, the grapes are picked several weeks after the regular harvest. They are then overripe and characterized by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the juice.

In the glass, the wine glows golden yellow with green reflections. On the nose, peach, quince, and apricot meet mango, passion fruit, and banana, accompanied by rose, ginger, and saffron. On the palate, it is dense and silky; the sweetness gains tension through the freshness. The long finish fades out with a fine bitter note.

Recommendation: Serve it at 8 to 10 °C with foie gras, ripe blue cheese, or apricot tart. It also works solo as the conclusion of a long dinner.
