There's a great love for the Gewürztraminer grape, and the grapes come from various vineyards, primarily Bollenberg and Bux, as well as young vines from Schlumberger's Grand Cru vineyards. The vineyards have a unique climate, providing the Gewürztraminer with ample sunshine and cool breezes. This coolness is crucial for a smooth and balanced ripening process. Once ripe, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand in the early morning, minimizing the risk of oxidation and damage. The Gewürztraminer grapes are transported to the press in small crates, where the entire wine is aged on the lees. This period lasts approximately eight months, allowing the wine to develop its finesse and power.
This is a complete glass of Gewürztraminer, simply a celebration. It begins the moment you open the bottle, as it releases aromas of candied, exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, papaya, and lychee). Grab a large glass so you can swirl it vigorously, as this white Schlumberger Gewürztraminer reveals everything. It begins with the beautiful yellow color and the wonderful aroma of vanilla, banana, yellow fruit, pear, peach, and spices (candied ginger). The taste is smooth and typical of Gewürztraminer, with a lovely thick texture and abundant fruit nuances of mango, papaya, passion fruit, banana, white peach, pear, lychee, vanilla, and various spices. The finish leaves a slight tingle and some notes of honey and vanilla.
