Kuehn Gewurztraminer

The Gewürztraminer is a somewhat headstrong grape. However, the Kuehn winery knows how to tame it with aplomb. This is likely due to Kuehn's years of experience. For almost 350 years, they have dominated the vineyards of Alsace. This region, located in northeastern France, is renowned worldwide. Their wines are considered among the purest and most elegant. Moreover, Alsace wines are exceptionally well-suited for gastronomy, including the Kuehn Gewürztraminer. This white wine pairs perfectly with Asian dishes.

The old vineyards of Kuehn

The Kuehn winery is located in Ammerschwihr, just north of Colmar. The terroir here is exceptionally well-suited for growing Gewürztraminer. Moreover, the sunny and dry climate ensures that this royal grape ripens exceptionally well in the vineyards. Gewürztraminer comes in various sizes. Kuehn's variety is refined and dry. This is primarily due to the grapes being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The precious juice then undergoes aging on the lees, which adds complexity to the wine.
