Altenbourg Gewurztraminer 2008 from Domaine Weinbach is an Alsatian white wine from a site situated just below the Schlossberg Grand Cru. The 2008 vintage was a classic and cooler year in Alsace, yielding wines with high aromatic clarity and structural tension. This bottling offers an expressive profile of rose petals, lychee, ginger and exotic spices. Despite the grape’s natural richness, the wine remains balanced by a vibrant acidic core and a distinct mineral drive. Following maturation in large neutral oak vats, the palate is broad and textural, leading into a long, savoury finish.
