Alsace, Domaine Paul Kubler, Grand Cru Zinnkoepfle Gewurztraminer, AOC Alsace Grand Cru, Blanc
Philippe Kubler, took over his family’s domaine in 2004, carrying on the estate's history that started in 1620. The vineyard of 10 hectares is composed of five main soil types, and grape varieties are selected according to soil type, with the aim of achieving the best expression between grape variety and geological signature. Traditional, respectful winemaking methods such as fermentation in foudres are used, and no pesticides in the vineyard, respecting the biology.
Presentation

The century-old Gewurztraminer vines flourish here, expressing great ripeness while retaining superb tension and mellow balance.
