“The ‘sunbeam’ (Sonnenglanz) can be savored here in the glass. In 2018, the Gewürztraminer basked in the sun all summer long, starting in the early morning on the slopes of this southeast-facing grand cru, and was not harvested until September 24. The result is a sweet wine with an intense golden yellow color, an expansive nose characterized by rose and lychee, nuanced by a honeyed note of overripeness. Exotic fruits mingle with dried fruits in a generous, round palate—rich without heaviness—with a long, spicy finish: a new Favorite this estate with a brilliant track record.
