Kuentz-Bas Gewurztraminer 2019

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): Gewurztraminer

Localization: Alsace, France

Tasting Notes: Well opened on the nose, it reveals intense aromas of exotic fruits, sweet spices and fresh flowers. On the palate, the attack is frank and powerful. Its origin from limestone terroir, the Kirchberg de Ribeauvillé, gives it a balance that remains fresh and intense, with a beautiful length. A wine with a certain roundness in a generous style.

Food pairing: In combination with powerful and aromatic dishes such as soft cheeses,
blue cheeses, spicy pork tagine or certain fruit-based desserts.

The Domain: The KUENTZ family's activity is listed in the municipal archives from 1795. From its creation, it sold its wines to restaurateurs throughout Alsace and the Vosges and built a new and large cellar in 1894, still in use today. A marriage brought together the KUENTZ and BAS families who associated their names and made the vineyard prosper. Their high-quality wines are sold in Alsace, the Paris region, and abroad.

The family will be ardent defenders and promoters of Alsatian viticulture. The House experiences a great boom, courageously recovers from the ordeal of the Second World War and also prepares the ground for future generations.

The estate prospered and equipped itself with new cellars and an automatic bottling plant. In 1954, the family cultivated 12 hectares of vines planted exclusively on hillsides and developed its sales abroad until 2003.
