"A very well-balanced Gewurzt!
"This gewurz manages to marry spicy, exotic floral complexity with bright pineapple and lychee, drawing you into its lush yet refreshing embrace. The finish is long and creamy, with plenty of character and wet stone." (James Suckling 2022)

Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100
About the wine:
The sugars are much better integrated in this version of Kaefferkopf, which is dedicated to Gewurztraminer alone: its off-dry profile, enhanced by notes of spice, angelica and candied citrus, gives it just the right balance.

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This wine is zesty and has a pleasant bittersweet profile, with pink grapefruit peel, lychee and cardamom notes, underscored by wet stones. Racy acidity maintains freshness and concentration for a persistent finish.
