Gewurztraminer scares people off with its reputation for sweetness, but this one flips the script: it's essentially dry. Schoffit grows it in the Harth, a gravelly plain near Colmar where old massale-selection vines, some three-quarters of a century old, ripen fully in the sun. The estate is certified organic and moving toward biodynamics, and the wine is fermented with native yeasts and raised in stainless steel to keep it fresh and unadorned. You still get all the exotic aromatics Gewurztraminer is famous for, but the palate is structured and clean, with just a whisper of sugar that reads as ripeness rather than sweetness. Proof that this grape can be serious and food-friendly, not just a dessert-course novelty.
