Winemaker Notes
Aromas of rose petals and honeysuckle reveal enticing flavors of litchi fruit and hints of honeysuckle. Fat and rich, yet fresh and fruity. The anticipated spiciness makes this wine a classic example of Alsatian Gewurztraminer.

Wine
The Adam estate is located in the heart of Alsace in the village of Ammerschwihr, which enjoys an exceptional microclimate of sunny, warm and dry days that guarantee ideal conditions for growing grapes. The region also receives the least amount of yearly rainfall, only about 500 mm per year. This ensures gradual ripening of the grapes and extremely aromatic wines. The wines of Adam come from slopes with optimum exposure to sunlight. The vineyards are a mosaic of terroir and minerals consisting of gneiss, granite, shale and sandstone.
