Cave de Turckheim Gewurztraminer 2023
Cave de Turckheim is one of Alsace's most celebrated cooperative wineries, producing wines of exceptional quality and typicity from the heart of the region. Their Tradition Gewurztraminer, crafted by winemaker Michel Lihrmann, is a benchmark expression of Alsace's most iconic and aromatic variety — elegant, harmonious, and unmistakably itself. Why You'll Love It This is Gewurztraminer at its most refined — fragrant, rich, and beautifully balanced. Alsace Gewurztraminer has a reputation for being heady and overpowering, but Cave de Turckheim's Tradition bottling achieves something rarer: genuine harmony between the variety's exuberant aromatics and a fresh, poised acidity that keeps everything in check. No fining and only light filtration preserve the natural fruit and elegance, making this a wine that is as food-friendly as it is seductive on its own. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from Cave de Turckheim's carefully tended Alsace vineyards and gently pressed using pneumatic pressing to extract only the finest juice. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic freshness and varietal character. The wine undergoes no fining and only light filtration, with the focus firmly on balance, freshness, and finesse throughout. Tasting Notes The nose is immediately captivating — fragrant rose water and lychee with subtle lemon and a faint steely mineral character. On the palate, the wine is rich yet fresh, with notes of rose petal, honey, and gentle citrus. The finish is long and harmonious, achieving an ideal balance of ripeness, varietal character, and finesse. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile food wine, perfect with blue cheeses, Thai lemongrass dishes, fish and chicken curries with ginger and aromatic spices, Alsatian choucroute, smoked salmon, foie gras, or roasted pork with fruit. Also excellent as an aperitif or alongside a fragrant cheese board. The Details Gewurztraminer 100% |

Marlborough is justifiably famous for more than its signature Sauvignon Blancs, as this Riesling with ripe citrus-lime and spring blossom shows.
