Altenberg De Wolxheim

2020 Appellation Alsace Grand Cru Protégée Gewurztraminer

The Lissner Altenberg De Wolxheim, a remarkable 2020 Gewurztraminer, beautifully showcases the distinct character of the Appellation Alsace Grand Cru Protégée region. This white wine offers a medium body that envelopes the palate with flavors of exotic fruits such as lychee and passionfruit, combined with floral aromatics that are signature to the varietal. Its acidity is vibrant and refreshing, providing a delightful contrast to the lush fruitiness, while the sweetness is noticeable, making it a well-balanced choice for those who enjoy a slightly off-dry experience. With soft tannins that play a minimal role in this expressive white, the Lissner Altenberg De Wolxheim exemplifies a lovely harmony that enhances its food-friendly qualities, making it an ideal pairing for Asian cuisine or rich cheeses. This wine certainly represents the best of Alsace with its depth and complexity.
