Schulzengass

The locality called Schulzengass is located on richer soil below the Grand Cru Vorbourg, but it still has good drainage due to the well known chalky subsoil in Rouffach.

The origin of the name is from the German Schulz (soldier) and Gass (lane). The Schulzengass is located along the old Roman road.

The wines are rich, full-bodied and profound. The Gewurztraminer variety gives very good results here. The wine requires rather long maturing first on lees and then in the bottle. It is rich in alcohol because the south-eastern exposure brings the grapes to full maturity.

Tasting notes of Gewurztraminer Schulzengass 2001

Nice green-tinted yellow colour.
Tangerine and flowers nose.
Spicy and fresh mouth, very delicate aromas. Long end. This wine meets fatness and power.
