Boeckel 2021 Gewurztraminer Midelberg

With this commanding, not to say voluptuous wine, aromatically true to type, we formally abandon our sentimental yearning for the dry Alsatian Gewurztraminers on which we were reared. Instead, we wholeheartedly embrace the unabashedly moelleux style of today, when executed with such discretion and innate balance as this.

Notes from the Producer: You will perk up eagerly at the first whiff of the textbook Gewurz nose. The improved viticulture manifests itself in the uncommonly spicy palate, while the wine’s rich texture but reduced sucrosity make it a better- than-ever match for the traditional Asian fare and smoked fish.
