Domaine Weinbach 2023 Gewurztraminer "Les Treilles du Loup" Vin D'Alsace, Alsace

Winery Notes:  Gewurztraminer Treilles du Loup is from the Wolfreben (the wolf’s vineyard) lieu-dit on granitic sand on the plain.  40-50 year old vines located in the Kaysersberg valley between the Clos des Capucins and the village of Kaysersberg.  Organic and Biodynamic farming.  Gently pressed in whole clusters in pneumatic presses, fermentation with indigenous yeasts in old oak vats.  Reveals fine notes of roses and white tea, with a hint of pink pepper for vivacity. Though closer to dry, the natural sweetness of the grape gives body to the wine, producing a juicy impression mid-palate and a long-lasting finish.  A classic with spicy Asian cuisine such as Pad Thai, Shrimp Spring Rolls with chili sauce or a Calamari Salad. This wine also pairs perfectly with smoked salmon, as well as sushis, nigris and makis.
