This is Gewurztraminer leaning into its personality and enjoying every minute of it. Rolly Gassmann’s 2019 is unapologetically expressive, the kind of wine that walks into the room already mid-conversation. Aromas rise immediately - rose petal, lychee, ripe pear, a touch of spice - lush and inviting, but never clumsy. It smells generous. It smells alive. On the palate, there is richness, yes, but it is carried with surprising grace. The texture is velvety and full, wrapped around exotic fruit and a gentle floral sweetness, while a subtle freshness keeps everything moving forward. It feels indulgent without tipping into excess, a balancing act that Gassmann pulls off with ease. This is a wine that loves the table. Spicy dishes, aromatic cuisines, bold cheeses, or a night when subtlety feels overrated. Pour it confidently and let it do what it does best. Lush, charismatic, and deeply comforting, this is Gewurztraminer in full color - expressive, welcoming, and blissed-out in its own skin.
