Alsace Gewurztraminer 2021

Tasting and gastronomy
As an aperitif and dessert wine, Gewurztraminer goes perfectly with foie gras and strong cheeses such as blue, Fourme d’Amber, Munster and Roquefort. Also goes well with spicy dishes and desserts that aren’t too sweet. Its structure is powerful, fatty, round and slightly mellow.
