| The Gisselbrecht family have been crafting wines since the 1600s. Similar to Riesling, Gewurztraminer is a grape that is capable of expressing the nuance of terroir and can produce both dry and sweet wines. The versions produced in Alsace are the benchmark against which all others are measured. This one is typically crafted to be gently sweet. You can expect the characteristic notes of honey and ginger along with classic lychee notes. This will be a great choice for grilled chicken or pork ribs with a spicy sauce. |
