Anaïs Fanti, Costa Rawa 2023

Place: Alsace, France

Grape: Gewürztraminer

Vibe: Intriguing 

Again, Gewürztraminer but from alluvial soils and this gets a bit more skin contact than its sibling, Habibi Cheri. A more heady, aromatic take. Think bergamot and rose. On the palate, it leans spicy, almost Szechuan-like, with a gorgeous frame of tea-like tannin wrapping it all together. Intriguing and intellectual. ABV: 13%
