Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, off-dry
Le Grand K — Jean-Baptiste Adam's Kaefferkopf, the only Alsace grand cru permitted to be bottled as a blend rather than a single variety, a right the growers of Ammerschwihr fought to preserve when the cru was recognised in 2007. Gewurztraminer with Riesling and Pinot Gris on marl and limestone: ripe stone fruit and exotic spice over honeyed weight, held by Riesling's acidity and finishing dry to off-dry.
