Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, off-dry
Altenberg de Bergheim is one of Alsace's most prestigious Grand Cru sites, and Gewurztraminer grown there typically gives a rich, aromatic wine with heady floral and lychee notes alongside a touch of residual sweetness. Expect a full-bodied, oily-textured white with soft acidity and a spicy, honeyed finish. Cave de Ribeauvillé is a well-regarded cooperative with old vine holdings in this vineyard, so this should be a solid, traditional expression of the site.
Serving: Serve at 10–12 °C.
