Domaine Barmes-Buecher
Rosenberg Alsace Gewürztraminer
Wettolsheim, Alsace, France
Still lots of life left. Musky, floral, apricot, lychee, dark mineral. Silken textured up front, with off-dry flavors turning pleasantly bitter in the long finish.

Nov 22nd, 2018Alsace Gewurz is a wine I pop when I want to reward myself. Tonight it’s a reward for getting a lot of yard-work done on a ridiculously hot and humid day and not getting dehydrated.
The nose is Gewurtzy, of course, in that it shows lychee, apricot, and musky florals, but what really sets this apart from the run-of-the-mill G-Dog is its minerality. Takes it from the verge of cloying, with which Gewurz can flirt, to something special. Soft and full in the mouth, slightly sweet. Very long finish.
