Introduction
The Famille Hauller Alsace Gewurztraminer "Les Prémices" is an aromatic and richly textured white wine that embodies the floral and spicy elegance typical of Gewurztraminer from Alsace. Crafted by Famille Hauller, a winery with deep roots in Alsatian winemaking tradition, this wine offers vibrant fruit, exotic spice, and a balanced structure that highlights the unique terroir of the region.
Terrior
Located in Alsace, France, the vineyards benefit from a dry, sunny climate and limestone-rich soils with clay deposits that contribute to the wine's characteristic minerality and depth. The Alsace region’s unique geography, with protection from the Vosges Mountains, results in an extended growing season that allows Gewurztraminer to develop complex aromatics and maintain balanced acidity.
Appearance
Bright golden yellow with a light, glossy sheen, reflecting the wine’s richness and vibrancy.
Nose
Intensely aromatic, with notes of lychee, rose petal, and honeysuckle, complemented by hints of citrus peel, ginger spice, and exotic fruits like mango and pineapple.
Palate
Full-bodied and opulent, with flavors of ripe lychee, apricot, and tropical fruit balanced by a subtle spiciness of ginger and clove. The wine has a slightly off-dry character, providing a gentle sweetness that is harmoniously balanced by fresh acidity. The rich texture and creamy mouthfeel give the wine depth and weight, while the mineral undertones add a refreshing lift.
Finish
Long, floral, and spicy, with lingering notes of rose, lychee, and a touch of citrus, leaving a balanced, exotic impression.
