"Effusively floral (rose petal and gardenia) aromatics suggest the effect of this sites distinctive terroir on Boxler’s 2004 Gewurztraminer Brand. Creamy in the mouth yet with a remarkable sense of delicacy and lift for a Gewurztraminer, much less one so rich, this spreads honey, caramel, candied mint and yellow plum preserves across the palate, positively billows with inner-mouth florals, and finishes with considerable sweetness not inappropriate to its family of flavors, and complimented by malt-like low tones in the finish."

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.
