This benchmark Alsace Gewürztraminer from Charles Schléret has beguiling rose water and lychee aromas and a rich complex palate with subtle spicy undertones.
Charles Schléret’s Alsace Gewürztraminer is a benchmark example – tropical fruit and white pepper characteritics combine to great effect on a rich, complex palate.
Sarah McCleery in The Oxford Times says:‘I tell you, hand on heart, that it is the first Gewürztraminer I have tried that I wanted to return to for another . . . and another glass. Just brilliant!’

Yapp Brothers Staff Review - Jonathan says:Tropical nose with lots of Lychee as well as a touch of Mango and Kiwi. Very aromatic as are all of Schléret’s wines. Initially on the palate there are mouth filling fruit salad flavours which then develop into a richer more complex body with spicy notes and a slight oily texture (typical for region.) The finish is fresh and clean with a nice balance of sugar and acidity and it lasts in your mouth. Overall this is quite a punchy wine in terms of fruit and body and it would hold up well to dishes that have complex flavours. I think a Thai Green Chicken curry would be an interesting match.
