Domaine Loew - Gewurztraminer Ostenberg 2015

Bettane & Desseauve

About the estate:

Étienne Loew is courageously working to raise awareness of the little-known terroirs of Westhalten, where very few winemakers bottle their own wine. Meticulous winemaking and extended aging (primarily in stainless steel tanks) result in pure, precise wines; the Rieslings are very dry.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

About the wine:

The Gewurztraminer Ostenberg opens with a clean, ripe, and rich nose, featuring subtle, smoky aromas of crushed rock. Rich and juicy on the palate, with luscious fruit, elegant acidity, fine tannins, and a nice touch of salinity, this full-bodied and aromatic Gewurztraminer reveals a smooth yet complex finish with lovely minerality and a lingering tannic grip.

About the estate:

For several years now, this estate—skillfully managed by Etienne Loew—has captivated us with the consistency of its production and the exceptional quality of its wines. He has found the key to fully understanding the nuances of the soils around Westhoffen, and he safeguards this somewhat isolated vineyard just as a guardian would watch over his ramparts! His approach is confident, his thinking open-minded, and his wines stand out for their elegance. A winery well worth discovering.
