The Domaine Weinbach Furstentum Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2020 is an opulent and beautifully structured Alsatian wine that exemplifies the richness and complexity of the varietal. Sourced from the esteemed Grand Cru Furstentum vineyard, which is known for its limestone and sandstone soils, this wine offers remarkable depth and aromatic intensity. The nose bursts with exotic aromas of lychee, rose petals, and ripe tropical fruits, interwoven with hints of ginger, sweet spices, and honey. On the palate, it is luscious and full-bodied, with a silky texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone that keeps it from feeling overly heavy. The natural sweetness is elegantly integrated, adding to the wine’s layered complexity.
This Grand Cru Gewürztraminer delivers a long, lingering finish, with notes of candied citrus peel, saffron, and a touch of smoky minerality. It is a wine that pairs exceptionally well with bold, aromatic cuisines, such as spicy Asian dishes, Moroccan tagines, or even rich foie gras. While already incredibly expressive in its youth, the 2020 vintage has great ageing potential, allowing its flavours to evolve and gain even more nuance over time. A truly exceptional wine from one of Alsace’s most revered producers, it showcases the finesse and power that make Gewürztraminer from this region so unique.
