Domaine Weinbach, Gewurztraminer Furstentum, 2021

Weinbach is one of Alsace's legendary estates, a former Capuchin monastery domaine run by the Faller family and farmed biodynamically, and Furstentum is a Grand Cru so warm it grows Mediterranean scrub. From old vines on its limestone slopes comes Gewurztraminer at full opulence: perfumed, exotic and rich, with just enough residual sweetness to fill out the palate. Don't let that scare you, though, because there's real structure and lift underneath, so it never turns cloying. This is Gewurz at its most decadent yet composed.
