Gewurztraminer Bollenberg Valentin Zusslin (Domaine) 2018
The wine
The Bollenberg terroir features clay and ferrous limestone soil, with vines stretching between Rouffach and Issenheim on south-facing gentle slopes which favour a long maturation. Honeysuckle and acacia open on the nose, leading into a spiced palate with notes of pepper and liquorice and a fine honeyed finish. Drink within 10 years and pair with curried fish.
About the Producer Valentin Zusslin
Domaine Valentin Zusslin is a longtime darling of critics and wine guides (including Bettane & Desseauve and the RVF). The 16 hectare estate which is based in Orschwihr, just south of Colmar, converted to biodynamic viticulture in 1997. Wines are produced from a total of 9 different grape varieties, featuring crystalline whites and structured Pinot Noirs perfect for cellaring.
