Villa Wolf Gewürztraminer 2022 (12 Bottles) Pfalz, Germany

$288.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Off-dry, juicy, fresh and spicy rendition of Gewürztraminer that adds smoky, crushed-stone and peach notes to the variety’s lychee and rosewater signatures.

2019 Villa Wolf Gewürztraminer is grown on the Pfalz estate of Mosel Riesling legend Ernst Loosen. The Pfalz region is in the Rhine river valley in southwest Germany, directly north of France’s Alsace region. The low-lying Haardt mountains protect the area from cold, wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany.

Wine grapes do well here where it is possible to achieve full ripeness in every vintage. The predominant soil type in this area is well-drained, weathered sandstone. It produces wines with a fruit-driven purity and a stony structure.

Sustainably farmed according to strict German environmental regulations. Selectively picked by hand with no overripe or botrytis-affected fruit allowed. Fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks, with malolactic conversion blocked in order to maintain lively acidity. Light filtration before bottling. No other filtering or fining.

Our Philosophy

Enjoying a great wine is a unique pleasure. A whole cosmos is reflected in its variety of flavors, from the change of seasons to the unmistakable terroir of a vineyard to the passion of the winemaker. All of the great winemakers I’ve met have a clear vision. They know how their wines should taste before the first grape is even picked. They always let individual terroir triumph over technology. And quality – perfectly ripened grapes – always comes before quantity. Great wines are the result of great passion and dedication to clear convictions that are uncompromisingly realized.

We feel these principles at our two wineries Dr. Loosen on the Moselle and Villa Wolf in the Palatinate. We want to produce wines that seduce you to enjoy, that are concentrated and complex and that unmistakably reflect their origins. I would like to experience the special character of a vintage. This is what sets wine apart from any other drink.

Every great wine is created in the head. But it only proves its true greatness in your glass. I hope you drink our wine with the same pleasure that I make it.
Ernst Loosen
