Gewurztraminer
Filter
Gewurztraminer is the signature grape varietal that is grown predominately in the Alsace region. The white grape is highly perfumed with aromas of lychee, grapefruit, smoked meat, and even rose petals. The spices in Gewurztraminer are captivating and immediately noticeable. Many Gewurztraminer grapes lack refinement because of the high alcohol and low acidic content. Gewurztraminer is on one end of the scale, while the Riesling grape is on the other. No other region on the planet has been able to produce the amount of Gewurztraminer grapes like the Alsace region. Other than late-harvest versions, Gewurztraminer is usually a dry white wine despite its sweet smell. Gewurztraminer wines are best when enjoyed sooner rather than later. Gewurztraminer produces both sweet and dry wines with flavors that include pumpkin spice, honey, pear, cinnamon, apricot, and rose. The Gewurztraminer that is produced in Alsace is normally a dry wine that pairs wonderfully with rich and fatty dishes like goose or pork. Gewurztraminer is also an excellent wine to pair with ripe cheeses and exotic spiced dishes from India, Morocco, and the Far East.

Review:
"Pear, mustard blossom and stemmy aromas are fun and lighthearted. This wine is vivacious with acidity and has a rich, creamy texture offering all of the lychee and spice you could want. Grassy dill complements those and adds a lovely savory note to this sweet wine. Kysela Père et Fils. Editors’ Choice. - Layla Schlack"

Quintessa is made from 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Carménère, 1% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot.
The 2021 unfolds with Quintessa's signature balance of complex fruit, precise structure, and vital freshness amplified by an especially beautiful growing season. Floral notes— violet and lilac—lift an intensely aromatic bouquet of cassis and black cherry accented with anise, bay laurel, and forest floor. On the palate, firm but fine-grained tannins back dark berry and savory herb flavors interwoven with graphite and iron. Generous texture carries the complex layers to a fine, chalky finish.
Review:
An exquisite wine, relying primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon from a single estate. Aromas of lavender, dried herbs and grapefruit pith combine with flavors of firm fruits and cocoa on a structure of abundant, powder-fine tannin and a mouthwatering finish. This wine is refined, detailed and delicious, with as much elegance as energy. Best 2026–2040.
