Clean, floral and utterly delightful is the name of the game with the 2018 Charles Frey Gewurztraminer from Alsace.
The small commune of Dambach-la-Ville is the home to the Charles Frey domaine, and they've been producing delicious and organic wines at the picturesque estate since 1963. These days they own and work 14 hectares of vines, and make an array of outstanding wines from the region - and this Grand Cru Frankstein Gewurztraminer is a great look into their traditional and outstanding style of winemaking!
If anyone is out there looking for an alternative to their typical white wine option, your search should start with this wine!
Gewurztraminer is a fun and exciting varietal that offers complex flavors that are a bit atypical from what most people are used to. And this one from Frey - from a Grand Cru vineyard! - is a tremendous way to be initiated! So fresh, so layered, and so utterly delicious!
"Concentration is evident from the beginning. Nose and palate of this wine are redolent of peach and Mirabelle compote, heady with sweetness, rounded with ripeness and plump with juice. Somewhere in there a wiry, vivid note of lemon zest adds contrast. The medium-sweet finish has a creamy, mellow note and an echo of pleasant bitterness. -AK" - 93 Points Wine Enthusiast
