Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 2023: the richness of a great sweet wine from Alsace

The 2023 Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives from Cave de Turckheim perfectly illustrates the potential of the great sweet wines from the Alsace vineyards. This cuvée is made from Gewurztraminer grapes harvested late in the season, when their ripeness and concentration are at their peak. This late harvest results in a rich, generous and intensely aromatic white wine.

Gewurztraminer is one of Alsace’s most recognisable grape varieties. It is distinguished by its highly fragrant character and exotic notes. In this 2023 Vendanges Tardives version, the ripeness brings greater concentration and depth. On the palate, it reveals a generous aromatic palette centred on exotic fruits, ripe and candied fruits, citrus and the floral nuances typical of the grape variety.

On the palate, this sweet Alsatian wine captivates with its fullness and richness. Its sweetness is accompanied by a freshness that is essential to the wine’s balance, ensuring a harmonious tasting experience despite its concentration. The lingering finish prolongs the aromatic sensations and invites you to take your time savouring it.

This 2023 Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives can be served as an aperitif for a refined tasting experience, but it really comes into its own with a meal. It pairs particularly well with foie gras, spicy or sweet-and-savoury dishes, as well as certain strong-flavoured cheeses. Desserts featuring exotic fruits, citrus fruits or yellow fruits can also create some wonderful pairings.

Bottled in 75 cl bottles, this wine makes for a fine bottle to open on a special occasion or to keep for later enjoyment. The Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives thus represents a particularly generous and gastronomic expression of the Alsace vineyards.
