Gewurztraminer Cuvee des Folastries Josmeyer 2020
This dry Gewurztraminer exudes spice and is twirling, dense and assertive.
On the nose, yellow rose rubs shoulders with cardamom, coriander, ginger root mixed with mango or lychee. The mouth draws on aromatic peppers linked to the flesh of the fruit and the spirit of the garden in summer.
The idea is to have spring water infused with spices and flowers. The salinity, carried by the structure of the old vines, accompanies the matter which opens out after a few minutes of aeration.

More about this product
Domaine Josmeyer
The winery was established in 1963 when Hubert Meyer added the first three letters of his father's (Joseph) name to his family name. The family has been in the wine trade since 1854. Josmeyer is located in Wintzenheim, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, northeastern France, 4 km from Colmar, the department's capital. Twenty-eight hectares of vines, of which 3.5 hectares are Grand Crus Hengst and Brand, are planted with the usual Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, Muscat and Pinot Noir varieties. In 1995 they switched to organic and biodynamic agriculture, receiving a certificate in 2004. In the cellar, too, the processes are natural and without additives. Josmeyer makes mostly dry wines, with huge potential for aging and development in the bottle. If you want to enjoy a classic taste of the Alsace area, Josmeyer is your winique choice.

Alsace
Alsace is located in northeastern France, between the Vosges Mountains and the French border with Germany, marked by the Rhine. This is a long, thin region, 185 kilometers from north to south and only 40 kilometers from east to west. The key wine-growing regions here are located on the lower slopes of the Vosges, with eastern and southeastern exposure. Alsace specializes in white varieties such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. These varieties, naturally distributed in neighboring Germany, in contrast, here are produced in a much drier style. The best presented are the dry and mineral Riesling, the spicy and strong Gewürztraminer, which go well with the local cuisine. Other interesting and noteworthy are the light and fresh Sylvaner, as well as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.
