97 Points James Suckling
This great modern gewurz that is way drier than wines of this category used to be (but is certainly not analytically dry) has a wealth of delicate spice and exotic fruit aromas. The full body and richness creep up on you very slowly and glide across the palate. Dangerously fresh and wonderfully inspiring in the super-long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
Winemaker Note
A complex nose of honeysuckle, quince and nutmeg with a touch of smokiness. A voluptuous and creamy attack which evolves towards notes of candied orange, rose petals, and the spiciness of green anise. The acidity and the minerality provide an elegant backbone and keep the wine very fresh from the beginning to the end. Great on its own, as an aperitif, marries also beautifully with flavorful dishes like caramelized pork with Szechuan pepper and five spice roast duck, as well as with the exotic spices of Indian and Asian cuisines. Great accompaniment to foie gras and rich, strong cheese such as Munster.
