The Grand Cru d'Alsace appellation is given only to wines that meet very strict specifications. They must come from well-defined areas, follow specific rules for vineyard management, ensure particularly low yields to achieve greater wine concentration and thus obtain distinctive notes traceable to the terroir of origin. Thus, these are exceptional wines that are unique in their style. Like this Gewürztraminer Grand Cru Schoenenbourg, offered by Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr. Deep golden yellow and bright, the nose reveals complex hints of gingerbread and candied exotic fruits. In the mouth, however, it is broad and generous, with a long, particularly rewarding finish. Its moderate residual sugar makes it quite versatile. Excellent as an aperitif, this tasty Gewürztraminer pairs perfectly with dishes characterized by a fair degree of fattiness. Excellent, for example, with foie gras or fairly aged cheeses. Also suitable for accompanying mouth-watering fruit-based desserts.
