Albert Mann is an organically run domaine, owned since 1984 by Jacky and Maurice Barthelmé. The 19 hectare farm has vines on Grands Crus Hengst (Wintzenheim) and Steingrubler (Wettolsheim) and they also farm on the two fabled Grands Crus of Kientzheim and Furstentum. The hallmark of the estate's wine style is power and respect for terroir. They work with high ecological ambitions, prune hard and harvest very low yields. No chemicals are used in the vineyards. This 100% Gewürztraminer is from 35 year old vines grown on limestone and clay and makes for an ideal partner to mildly spicy foods.
A light golden in colour. Aromas of passion fruit, beeswax and mango. On the palate, medium-bodied with a low acidity and oily mouthfeel. The finish is lingering suggesting further tropical fruit flavours. Try with Muenster cheese, wine-braised sauerkraut and pork sausages or a bacon and onion tart (Tarte Flambé).
