Kiefer Gewürztraminer Spätlese dry

A Gewürztraminer that makes no compromises in expression: opulent in aroma, yet surprisingly structured on the palate thanks to the late harvest ripeness and dry winemaking method.

The Kiefer winery cultivates vineyards in the Kaiserstuhl – one of Germany's warmest wine-growing regions, characterized by volcanic subsoil and loamy loess soil. It is precisely this soil combination that gives the Gewürztraminer its body: the volcanic layers provide mineral tension, while the loess loam ensures richness. The south-facing slopes bring ripeness without making the wine heavy.

In the glass, an intense bouquet of rose petals, lychee, and orange peel unfolds, with hints of ginger and white pepper – typical of the grape variety, but here with a clear focus. On the palate, the dry style follows the aromatics with a firm structure: medium body, subtle spice, and a long finish with slightly bitter citrus notes. Two silver medals at the AWC Vienna in 2015 and 2016 confirm the wine's quality across several vintages.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Alsatian Munster, foie gras, Thai curry with coconut milk or roasted rack of lamb with herb crust.
