"The 1995 Gewurztraminer Herrenweg Turckheim V.T. boasts an advanced deep golden color, extremely botrytised, honeyed, spicy, jammy fruit aromas, and sweet/sour flavors. The tell-tale Gewurztraminer lychee nut/rose petal/pineapple-like character is nowhere to be found in this enormous, long, and moderately sweet wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
