Smoky and floral with mango peel and candied oranges, making this an extremely unusual gewurztraminer and an amazing dry white. The long mineral finish gets an extra kick from the generous tannins and ends salty and savory. Better from 2019 but there is absolutely no hurry to drink this! Made from biodynamically grown grapes.

Exotic spice, incense and smoke notes on the nose draw you into this fascinating white. This is dry, almost monolithic with acidity and minerality, yet the flavors of ripe and fleshy yellow peach, kumquat, Marcona almond, pickled ginger and Thai basil unfurl beautifully on the palate, leaving a mouthwatering impression on the rich, spiced finish. Drink now through 2031. 133 cases made.–AN

91+ The 2016 Alsace Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Gewurztraminer Clos Saint Urbain is a bone-dry wine with lots of structure and bitters. I find it lean and pretty uncharming at the moment, but it is tight, mineral and fresh. For me it lacks the juiciness and generosity I love about this grape, but I am looking forward to being surprised in a couple of years. - Stephan Reinhardt
