THIS IS A STORIED GEWURZTRAMINER HOUSE DATING BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS. IT IS A RICH AND ENERGETIC WINE SHOWING APRICOT & HONEY NOTES. THE WINE SINGS AND IS NOT SWEET.

Place the bottle in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours or in an ice bucket with a 3:1 mix of ice and water for 20–30 minutes until it reaches about 8–10°C (46–50°F). Gewurztraminer is best served chilled but not ice-cold so its aromatic profile—apricot, honey, floral spice—remains expressive.

Chill the bottle

If the bottle has been stored for a long time or has visible sediment, gently decant into a clean decanter. Otherwise, pour directly from the bottle. Decanting for 10–20 minutes can open up aroma and texture but is generally unnecessary for a young, energetic 2022 Gewurztraminer.

Decanting (optional)

Hold the glass by the stem and pour a modest tasting portion (about 120–150 ml / 4–5 fl oz) to allow room for swirling. Fill to roughly one-third to one-half of the glass to concentrate aromas in the bowl.

Pouring

Swirl gently and inhale: you should perceive ripe apricot, honeyed notes, rose petal and subtle spice (ginger, clove). On the palate expect a rich, energetic midpalate with dry finish—note that Gewurztraminer can feel fuller-bodied than many white wines.

Tasting notes to observe

Select tulip-shaped or standard white wine glasses. Ensure glasses are clean and free of detergent residue which can mute aromas.

Pairing suggestions: enjoy with spiced foods (Thai or Indian dishes), roasted pork with apricot glaze, rich seafood preparations (scallops with butter sauce), creamy cheeses (Munster or triple-cream), or salty snacks like prosciutto. The wine's aromatics and texture make it versatile with both savory and lightly sweet components.

Serving temperature reminder: if the bottle warms up while serving, place briefly in an ice bucket for a few minutes between pours to maintain the ideal 8–10°C range.
