Let's start with the territory: Alsace. We are in the north of France. Eastern border. Just a few miles away is Germany with its Moselle. We are in a corner of Europe where wines are predominantly white and where the grape varieties that grow best are those that like a cold climate. Like the Gewürztraminer that Hospices de Colmar offers here in a particularly rich version, made from grapes from a vineyard over 40 years old. Dry but not overly so, this wine shows a beautiful golden yellow color in the glass. The nose then reveals its full aromatic potential, with a sweetly fruity note reminiscent of candied fruit. Finally, in the mouth, the pleasantly sweet note of this white blends well with a world of spices. Perfectly balanced in all its components, this wine lends itself to more than one occasion. Good as an aperitif, it can also be offered in combination with savory cheeses or slightly spicy dishes. Excellent, for example, with oriental cuisine specialties.
