Altenburg is a great example of a medium-sweet, mouth-filling Alsatian Gewurztraminer sourced from vines ranging from 15-to-20 years of age with flavours of rose petal, lychee, ripe stone fruit and a touch of spice. The estate has been family-owned and operated for seven generations.

Gewurztraminer food pairings: grilled pork tenderloin with applesauce, grilled chicken breasts with chutney, mild curries.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
