The post Chateau d’Orschwihr – Gewurztraminer “Bollenberg” 2015 appeared first on The Malted Grape.

]]> Chateau d’Orschwihr has a long history of producing wine, with records dating back to the 16th century.  The Chateau has been in the Hartmann family since 1854, who have continued the Chateau’s winemaking traditions, and have adopted environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, including using recycled paper for their wine labels, generating their own electricity since 2011 through solar power, and refusing to use toxic chemicals in the vineyard.

Hard to spell, even harder to pronounce, Chateau d’Orschwihr’s Gewurztraminer Bollenberg is very easy to drink. Sweet, but not too sweet with only 16g/l of sugar (very sweet wines can have 80-100g/l or more, dry wines normally have 2-8g/l), you’ll find opulent notes of exotic fruit (think lychee, peach).

Pair with spicy Asian dishes, curry, or soft pungent cheeses.

]]> For more than 8 centuries, vines have been grown, and wine made at Abbaye de Valmagne.  The heritage, passion and know-how is clearly evident in their wines to this day.

A rare wine indeed, this sweet Aragome from Abbaye de Valmagne is made with overripe grapes high in natural sugar, and is normally only available through their gift shop at the Abbaye itself!  We’ve managed to convince them to part with a few bottles to save you the trip…  Try it with some blue cheese for a classic sweet-savoury combination, or with dessert!
