Albert Boxler - Gewurztraminer Brand 2017 (750ml)

Bright pale yellow; the color is much lighter than the Gewürz Reserve because there was much less noble-rot-affected fruit used here. Exotic smoky notes color the ripe apricot, guava and white flower notes. Then silky and long, with lively mineral-laced aromas of pomaceous orchard fruit. Less obviously Gewürz than the 2017 Reserve from Boxler, this is a very elegant rendition of the grape variety. These grapes are all from the Kirchthal vines, which are 50 years old and located right next to Boxler’s Pinot Gris vines, on very rich soils that are not likely to undergo water stress. (Drink between 2022-2030)
