Engelberg Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2017

9.5

In early 2020, we picked up this Alsatian Grand Cru Gewurtztraminer. We wondered what the highest grade of Gewurtztraminer would show & tonight, 5.5 years later, we found out.

This tastes almost like Japanese Umeshu (plum wine) but with the sweetness exchanged for subtlety. Lychee & pineapple are at the forefront and it eases indulgently into Marzipan.

Great with curry and imagine it would be just as good with blue cheese. — 8 months ago

@Tegan Marriott It seems that they’re a family winery with the original family having reestablshed ownership in 1996

Well if i feel like it i might stop by. Basically the best Gewürz is made in Elsass it is across from Baden. So since i will be in Freiburg in 2026 i could spend a day i the region.

Confectionary sugar nose. Mineral and some vulcanized rubber. Good power and concentration and lovely freshness. Some sugar but also lovely acids. Really nice and really mineral finish. — 10 years ago
