Domaines Schlumberger, Gewurztraminer Les Princes Abbés, Alsace, France 2017

Domaines Schlumberger has a winemaking history stretching back centuries, and owns significant vineyard holdings across Alsace. The grapes for this gently spicy Gewurz come from Guebwiller's sandstone slopes, 25km south of Colmar, and the wine includes some declassified grand cru fruit. Fresh and exotic, it has a wonderful weight of lychee and tropical fruit, lovely purity and a lightness of touch. Off-dry in style, it would be delicious with chicken liver paté, or a Thai green curry.
