grape varieties and region specifics
100% gewurztraminer from alsace, macerated for around 13 days and fermented naturally for a structured, dry orange expression. this is a direct expression of alsace and the way rieffel works with the vineyard and cellar.
perfect pairings and occasions
pair it with spicy food, pork, charcuterie, washed-rind cheese or aromatic vegetables. serve it when you want a bottle with a clear sense of place and enough personality to stay interesting through the meal.
SERVING NOTES
Serve around 12–14°C. Take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving — the aromatic side is clearer when the wine is not too cold.
Give it 15–20 minutes of air. A short decant is useful but not essential.
