1998 Alsace Gewurztraminer

The Paul Zinck 1998 Gewurztraminer from the picturesque Alsace region is a captivating white wine that showcases the varietal's signature aromatic profile. With a luxurious mouthfeel, this wine is medium-bodied and exudes a delightful balance of acidity that refreshes the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing notes of lychee, rose petal, and exotic spices that dance harmoniously on the tongue. The overall experience is dry but not overwhelmingly so, allowing the wine's flavor complexity to shine through without overshadowing its elegant structure. This Gewurztraminer is a superb expression of its terroir, inviting wine enthusiasts to explore the enchanting characteristics that make Alsace wines so distinct and alluring.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
