Gewürztraminer sceptics do exist. And yet, so does this gloriously aromatic, lively, unctuous, bitingly mineral cuvée. This is a top-notch wine from the biodynamic Domaine Valentin Zusslin: rich and full-bodied with delicious notes of fruit and spice; lifted by a lip-smacking freshness, it makes the perfect accompaniment to curried white meat, with coconut-based sauce. The vines are grown on an exceptional terroir, with ferrous clay-limestone soil and a perfect south-east facing aspect. Following a rigorous sorting, vinification takes place in vats and maturation in barrels for at least a year. We rave about this cuvée at iDealwine.

Gewurztraminer Bollenberg Prestige Valentin Zusslin (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Baeckeoffe, Sushis et sashimis de saumon, Risotto aux langoustines.
