Jean Biecher Gewürztraminer

Tasting Notes Jean Biecher Gewürztraminer

A distinctly aromatic, exuberant Gewürztraminer with intense aromas of lychee, rose petals and exotic fruit, complemented by a hint of spice. Full and rich on the palate, with a soft, slightly sweet initial taste and a long, fragrant finish that is typical of this grape. Delightfully perfumed!

Wine & Food Pairing

Jean Biecher Gewürztraminer is the perfect partner for spicy and aromatic dishes such as Asian cuisine, curries and dishes with spices. Its full and expressive character also shines beautifully with pâté, foie gras or strong cheeses.

Additional Information

The Jean Biecher winery is located in Alsace and works with local winemakers, where tradition and modern techniques go hand in hand to guarantee consistent quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, ensuring that the intense aromas and characteristic profile of the Gewürztraminer are optimally preserved.

Alsace is one hundred percent French, but has a somewhat German feel in places. This is not surprising, as the area in the northeast of France is right next to Germany and has changed hands quite a few times during several wars. Half-timbered houses, colourful flower boxes and some regional dishes evoke that German image, but there are countless characteristics that truly make the region French.

Fun fact: the name "Gewürztraminer" refers to the spicy ("gewürz") character of the grape, which originally comes from the village of Tramin in Northern Italy.
