Winemaker Notes
The Gewurztraminer varietal is pink with white fruit and juice. It produces powerful wines with exuberant fruit character. The bouquet is intense and develops rich aromas of exotic fruits (passion, pineapple, lychee), flowers (roses) and spices (pepper, cinnamon).
The nose is fine and presents a great aromatic richness with notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamom) and exotic fruits( mango, papaya, and guava). On the palate, it shows a great complexity: supple and ample, with persistence on spicy and mango flavours.
This wine accompanies aperitifs, Asian cuisine and exotic food, sweet and sour dishes, strong cheeses, or tarts and fruit based desserts.
Winery Notes
Lucien Albrecht (pronounced Lu-Shen All-Bresht) is one of the most distinguished producers of white wines in Alsace, founded in 1698 when Balthazar Albrecht settled in Orschwihr, a small village flanked by rolling hills and ideally situated for grape-growing. Today the winery is known worldwide for the finesse, unique aromatic structure and freshness of its still and sparkling wines. All Lucien Albrecht wines are produced with fruit sourced exclusively from estate vineyards, including the Grand Cru Pfingstberg and Grand Cru Spiegel. A leader in the production of acclaimed Brut and Ros Crmants, the winery was instrumental in securing AOC Crmant dAlsace designation in 1976. The winemaking team, led by Jrme Keller, embraces a philosophy of respect for the environment with minimal interference from the vineyards to the glass. In 2012 Lucien Albrecht received Frances Agri Confiance sustainability certification.
