Albert Mann Gewurztraminer 2024

Not what you expect from Gewurztraminer — and that's the point. Albert Mann's first dry Gewurz in twenty years pulls fruit from Wineck-Schlossberg and the entirety of Grand Cru Furstentum (declassified for the 2024 vintage), and the result leads with lemon: zesty, vivid, almost bracing. The nose is composed and precise — orange peel, peach skin, a trace of rose — with none of the heady florality that can tip the variety into excess. On the palate, real concentration takes hold, citrus-driven and taut, yet with enough inner richness to remind you this is unmistakably Gewurz. The varietal character is all there; it's simply been recast in a leaner, brighter mold.
