FEATURES
🏰The 2017 Domaine Weinbach Gewurztraminer Furstentum Selection de Grains Nobles is an 【exceptional, lusciously sweet wine from one of Alsace's finest vineyard sites】, showcasing the Domaine's mastery of the varietal. This Grand Cru Gewurztraminer captures the natural concentration of the Furstentum terroir with remarkable depth and character. The 2017 vintage was noted for its very attractive pear-biscuit aromas, white peaches, ripe mangoes, and spicy, aromatic allure. On the palate, it is opulent and silken, with exotic stone fruits like lychee and mango melding with honeyed sweetness and gentle spice, all balanced by a firm acid spine that prevents it from being cloying. Robert Parker rated this vintage 95 points, highlighting its purity, freshness, and elegant, refined finish.
🍴This intensely aromatic and sweet Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives (late harvest) pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes. It's a classic match for foie gras, whether pan-seared or served as a terrine. It also complements exotic fruit desserts, fruit tarts, or sweet-and-savory dishes from Asian cuisine, such as spicy duck breast or pork with an Asian glaze (ginger, honey, star anise). For cheese, consider Munster, aged Comté, or washed-rind cheeses to match its aromatic luxury.
🥂This exceptional sweet wine is perfect for special occasions, celebratory desserts, or as a contemplative after-dinner drink. Its remarkable aging potential, up to around 2047, allows for significant development in the bottle, revealing greater depth and refined nuance over the years. Serve chilled between 8-10°C to best appreciate its complex aromas and balanced sweetness.
