Overview:
The Domaines Schlumberger 2020 Les Princes Abbés Gewürztraminer is a quintessential expression of Alsace’s most iconic varietal, renowned for its aromatic depth and dazzling complexity. Sourced from the prestigious localities of Bollenberg and Bux, as well as the young vines of Grand Cru vineyards, this Gewürztraminer offers a vibrant interplay of exotic fruits, floral accents, and spices. With a foundation of slow pneumatic pressing, fermentation in thermo-regulated tuns, and maturation on fine lees, this wine balances richness and finesse in perfect harmony.
Tasting Notes:
Radiant lemon-yellow with green reflections, this youthful Gewürztraminer exudes captivating aromas of passion fruit, lychee, mango, and candied orange, elevated by floral notes of peony and violet. A bouquet of citrus, blood orange, pineapple, and a hint of ginger spice adds a sophisticated edge. On the palate, it unveils a luxurious, full-bodied texture with a lively sparkle, showcasing flavours of exotic fruits, rose petals, curry spices, and a touch of rum. The finish is long and structured, with refreshing acidity and a subtle bitterness that lingers, epitomising elegance and balance. Perfectly suited to bold and aromatic cuisine, this Gewürztraminer pairs beautifully with a wok of spicy vegetables, shrimp-stirred Chinese noodles, or a creamy fish curry risotto. For cheese lovers, enjoy it alongside a soft, washed-rind cheese like Géromé to complement its opulent flavours.
