Alsace Grand Cru AOC Gewürztraminer Brand de Turckheim 2018 Dopff au Moulin

The Grand Cru Brand vineyard is one of the most famous for the cultivation of Gewürztraminer in Alsace, located in a dominant position compared to the historic village of Turckheim. The resulting wines are characterized by their finesse, the fruit and the balance of all the taste components.

The bunches of Gewürztraminer are harvested only once the perfect degree of ripeness has been reached and after a slight establishment of the noble mold Botrytis Cinerea which concentrates the aromatic substances in the grapes. The winemaking process fully reflects what is the style of the domaine Dopff au Moulin, with a long pressing of the whole bunches, then fermentation and maturation in steel in order to preserve as much as possible the freshness characteristics of the product.

This wine is characterized by an intense golden yellow color. Elegant fig Afrore emerge from the glass, accompanied by nuances that recall honey and spices. In the mouth it is full-bodied and broad since its entry, with notes of candied fruit and light salinity, perfect expression of the terroir of origin.

A classy aperitif, it can be served with foie gras, a cheese platter or a succulent chocolate dessert.
