Description
The Grand Cru of Pfersigberg means “peach hill”, taking its name from the abundance of peach trees that were once abundant there. Mainly dedicated to Riesling, the planting of Gewürztraminer makes up only a few plots. This is a warmer site with a high amount of active limestone, protected from the elements by the Vosges massif. Wine produced here are intense and extremely long-lived. This is one of the most notable sites for Gewürztraminer. Certified Organic.
Tasting Notes :
Wonderfully aromatic overtones of rose hip tisane and spicy verbena hover on the nose among a more obvious ripe peach note. The palate takes this ripe peach and edges it with wonderfully stringent lemon zestiness. That spicy edge is intensified by a lovely phenolic undertow. This is a nuanced, layered and intriguing picture of an aromatic, off-dry wine with a seemingly endless finish. Lovely now but certain to evolve.
