Tasting notes: The 2019 Gewurztraminer Bollenberg is perfectly aromatic on the nose that delivers all you like to have from Gewurtz: chalk and lychee, along with some spicy and floral notes, of course. Full-bodied, rich and finessed, with a remarkable mineral freshness thanks to the Jurassic and Oligocene limestone terroir of the Bollenberg nature reserve that is home to Mediterranean plants and rare birds. This is an off-dry Gewürztraminer with a round and silky texture and very fine tannins that perfectly combine with mineral freshness
About the winery: Established in 1691 by M. Jodocus Cisle (former name of Zusslin), Domaine Valentin Zusslin is now run by two generations of the Zusslin family who are following in the footsteps of their forbears. The winery is based in Orschwihr, south of Colmar, and the vines are planted on the slopes of the Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg. In 1997 the domaine converted to biodynamic viticulture. Much of the work in the vineyard and in the cellar is done by hand, in order that the grapes can express the full potential of the unique terroirs of the Domaine.
