- A full and aromatic expression of Gewürztraminer with caramelised ginger and lychee fruits on a whole, fleshy, ripe and rich palate with a delightful balanced sweetness. Expressive notes of honey, spice, and candied fruits create a refreshing and beautifully balanced palate. This full-bodied and rich wine has great finesse.
The grapes were manually harvested at 107° Oechsle. Gentle pneumatic pressing took place in whole bunches without crushing the grapes. The must was static racked, followed by a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine was stored in old oak casks on the fine lees for several months.
Expressive notes of honey, spice and candied fruits create a refreshing and beautifully balanced palate. This full-bodied and rich wine has great finesse.

Winery | The Grand Cru classified vineyard of Brand overlooks the town of Turckheim and reaches 343 metres above sea level. The wines of the Brand vineyard have been highly reputed since the 14th century, covering 58 hectares, of which Dopff au Moulin owns 3.2 hectares. The vineyard faces south and southeast and features very steep slopes. The soil consists of "Turckheim granite" with black and white micas, which is characterised by a low water retention capacity. The steep slopes, combined with the granite soils, contribute to the rapid warming of the soil, which helps to encourage the vine to mature. The Guyot pruned vines are harvested in green, and meticulous canopy management occurs. Yields are extremely low at 26 hectolitres per hectare. |
