(2015 vintage notes)

Blending is permitted for Grand Cru Kaefferkopf wines. 70% Gewurztraminer and 30% Riesling are harvested on the same day from the oldest plots, which are between 60 and 70 years old. The Grand K has a golden straw yellow color and offers a blend of yellow fruit, white flower, and candied lemon aromas. A perfect alchemy on the palate, where the fruit and spices of Gewurztraminer blend harmoniously with the minerality and elegance of Riesling. A Grand Kaefferkopf with a Grand K!
