Tasting Notes

A nose of fresh flinty lemons, hints of lime and lemon curd. The palate is more rich and honeyed with hints of delicate rose, lovely weight and smoky minerality. Wonderfully integrated and harmonious.

Producer details

Cave de Turckheim is situated in the pretty village of Turckheim situated to the north west of Colmar. Firmly established as one of the best co-operatives in the world Cave de Turckheim always focus on quality combining rigour, know-how and patience with the latest technology and a steady stream of investment.

In the vineyard

Grapes are sourced from selected prime vineyards lying on siliceous soil. Harvesting is by hand or sometimes by machine, depending on the site.

In the winery

Winemaking is 'traditional' and overseen by Jean Michel Lihrmann - pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no finings and light filtration before bottling - all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. His philosophy is to make wines with good acidity and fruit balance.

Food Recommendations

Gewurz means spice, but the rosey notes also speak of love. This wine is perfect with aromatic spice based dishes (particularly Thai). It can also be served with a strong cheese such as Stilton.
