WINE DESCRIPTION
Albert Boxler Gewürztraminer is meticulously crafted by Jean, with a focus on vineyard parcels featuring granitic and alluvial soils in the lower reaches of Niedermorschwihr, Alsace. These vines, averaging over 70 years old, benefit from an eastern exposure, mitigating the region's intense heat. Continuing the legacy initiated by his father, Jean-Marc Boxler, in 1962, Albert Boxler's estate has earned immense renown for its unwavering commitment to quality and tireless work ethic. Jean Boxler, succeeding his father, has upheld this tradition with remarkable success, intensifying efforts to elevate the estate to the standards demanded by the most discerning aficionados of Alsace's Grand Cru wines. The resulting Gewürztraminer exemplifies this dedication, offering a harmonious balance of aromatic intensity, complexity, and finesse, showcasing the unparalleled terroir of Alsace.
