Robert Parker
On the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, blending is permitted. 70% Gewurztraminer and 30% Riesling are harvested on the same day from the oldest plots, aged between 60 and 70 years. 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 spice of Gewurztraminer blend harmoniously with the minerality and elegance of Riesling. A Great Kaefferkopf with a Great K!
