The 2024 Turckheim Gewurztraminer Tradition is a classic Alsace white from the renowned Cave de Turckheim, celebrated for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines. Grown on the sandy and gravelly soils around Turckheim, this Gewurztraminer showcases the variety’s signature aromatic intensity while maintaining freshness and balance. Crafted in a medium-sweet style, it offers remarkable purity and versatility, making it one of Alsace’s most food-friendly wines.
The nose reveals aromas of rose petals, grapefruit and exotic fruits, layered with lychee, gentle spice and floral notes. The palate is beautifully textured, with ripe tropical fruit, subtle honeyed richness and refreshing acidity creating a wine that is both generous and vibrant. Elegant and aromatic, it finishes long with delicate spice and impressive freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully expressive Gewurztraminer that balances aromatic richness with freshness. Its exotic fruit and spice make it a perfect match for Thai curries, Indian cuisine, roast pork, Munster cheese and spicy Asian dishes. Serve lightly chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant aromatics and lively character are at their best.
