Gewürztraminer Grand Cru Kessler AC Alsace Grand Cru 0.75L

Gewürztraminer from the Grand Cru Kessler is not a wine for restraint — Alsace shows its most lush, aromatic side here. Domaines Schlumberger, one of the largest and most renowned wineries in Alsace with over 140 hectares in family ownership, has been managing the Kessler for generations. The vineyard is located in a protected valley bay south of Guebwiller, characterized by sandy sandstone soil with loamy inclusions — a terroir that gives the Gewürztraminer depth and an exceptionally dense aroma.

In the glass, it shows intense aromas of rose blossom, candied ginger, and ripe mango, underscored by a hint of lychee and beeswax. The palate is full-bodied and rich; the natural residual sweetness is supported by a lively acidity structure that prevents the wine from feeling heavy despite its opulence. The finish is long, spicy, and slightly smoky.

Drunk in the classic Alsatian way: with foie gras, Munster with caraway, or a strong blue cheese. It is also a surprisingly harmonious choice for Asian cuisine with coconut milk and chili. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
