Nestled among the rolling vineyards of Wintzenheim in Alsace, Domaine Josmeyer has been producing wines for five generations, dating back to 1854. The 25-hectare estate spans 90 plots, including prized parcels in the renowned Grand Cru sites of Hengst and Brand, known for their exceptional wine production for centuries. Today, sisters Céline and Isabelle oversee the Domaine, having embraced biodynamic practices since 2000. The hand-harvested grapes are gently crushed and allowed to rest in century-old wooden casks, where they ferment naturally at their own pace. The wines are left on their lees for several months during winter.

TASTING NOTES
This dry wine evokes a sense of adventure. On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of flowers and exotic fruits. It captures the airy and floral essence of Gewurztraminer without the weight and alcohol. The palate is round and smooth, with a vibrant freshness brought by the presence of Muscat, leading to a spicy finish that adds playfulness and energy. Pepper, cardamom, and wild herbs mingle effortlessly, creating a harmonious and graceful experience.
