Gewurztraminer Engel Alsace is an aromatic white wine produced in the Alsace region, located in the northeast of France. This wine region is renowned for its unique climatic conditions, combining continental influence with the protection of the Vosges mountains. The vineyards are situated on varied soils, often rich in limestone and clay, which give the wine complexity and structure. The Gewurztraminer grapes, known for their intense aroma and spicy notes, thrive in this environment, developing distinctive aromatic profiles of lychee, rose petals, and sweet spices. The production process involves hand harvesting the grapes to preserve quality and fruit integrity. After gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled temperature to enhance varietal aromas. The aging usually takes place in stainless steel tanks to maintain the freshness and purity of the wine, although some producers may opt for a short passage in wooden barrels to add complexity. The result is a full-bodied wine with a velvety texture and lively acidity that balances the natural sweetness of the grapes, making it perfect to accompany spicy dishes or blue cheeses. Pairings: Gewurztraminer Engel Alsace pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Considering its structure and flavor, it is an excellent choice to accompany Asian cuisine, such as Thai curry or spicy Indian dishes, where the spice is balanced by the wine's sweetness. It also pairs well with fish and shellfish dishes, especially if prepared with creamy or slightly spicy sauces. Blue cheeses, like gorgonzola or roquefort, find a great companion in Gewurztraminer due to the contrast between their saltiness and the wine's roundness. Another interesting option is pairing with dishes featuring exotic fruit or preparations including ingredients like ginger and citrus, which echo and complement the wine's aromatic notes. White meats, such as chicken or turkey, especially when accompanied by fruit- or spice-based sauces, can also be enhanced by a glass of Gewurztraminer Engel Alsace. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Alcohol content: 13.0% Vintage: 2023
