(2012) The Blancks have farmed in the village of Kientzheim for generations, yet the screwcap on this bottle shows they move with the times. The nose has a classical Gewurz fragrance, but with a fairly restrained, honey and citrus-peel character too that keeps it quite tight. On the palate this is decidedly off-dry, with a subtle ginger note, plenty of spiciness and all the time a more steely core of mineral and lemon pith to keep it sharp and tighten up those hints of tropical fruits. A great partner for Chinese food, but for prawns and shellfish too.
