Dopff au Moulin Gewurztraminer brand de turckheim Grand Cru
Winery information: Wine growers since 1574, today, 3 generations manage the Dopff's estate: Pierre Dopff, the Managing Director, his son Pierre-Etienne, General Manager, and Etienne-Arnaud, Logistic and Development Manager. With more than 70 hectares of productive vineyard, Dopff 'Au Moulin' has become the most important domain in the heart of the best wine region. It is mainly situated
around the little town of Riwuewihr, on the south-facing slopes of the Schoenenbourg ('Belle côte'), excellent Riesling country. It has also extended towards Hunawihr, Mittelwihr, the Hardt of Colmar and as far as the Brand of
Turckheim.
Vinification: Grapes have been pressed entirely without crushing. Static racking of the must was followed by a slow temperature controlled fermentation. Later the wine
was stored in old oak casks with the fine lees for several months.
Tasting Note: Lovely Gewurztraminer expression of spice and candied fruits with a full, fleshy and ripe fruit palate balanced by freshness giving great length. Quite superb.
Every day serving suggestion: Aperitif wine ""par excellence"". Perfect with foie gras, strong cheese and exotic food.
