Gewurztraminer
The Gewurztraminer grape
The Gewurztraminer is one of the "noble" breeds from Alsace. The German word Gewurz stands for spicy and immediately a tip of the veil is lifted. The smell and taste of Gewurztraminer are particularly expressive.
For that reason, this wine has supporters and opponents. The dose of spiciness in the wine can vary quite a bit, ranging from delicate fineness to pharmacy-like states. So it's still a search for the right amount of Gewurz.
What does a Gewurztraminer taste like?
Describing the smell and taste of Gewurztraminer is not easy. Tasting it yourself remains the solution.
The Alsatians claim that Gewurztraminer is a stubborn, hearty wine with a powerful bouquet. However, the Gewurztraminer is a very aromatic, seductive grape. This grape characterizes the irresistible scent of lychees, rose petals and lush tropical fruits. It has the taste of black pepper. The sumptuous scents sometimes dare to scare off the wine drinker. Bad Gewurztraminer can be greasy and blushing. It may even have a strange taste, and the fruit may be reminiscent of leftover jam leftovers on a breakfast plate.
If the yield is too high, the delicious, fragrant richness of the wine does not really come into its own. The Gewurztraminer undeniably achieves the best results in Alsace. A more convincing version is found nowhere else. In addition to Alsace, this grape is also found in Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, North and South America, South Africa, Australia, and especially in New Zealand.
At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.
