Domaine Paul Kubler - Nuances of Neroli - Gewürztraminer 2022
Domaine Paul Kubler is located in Soultzmatt in Alsace . The estate was created by Camille Kubler, and passed on to Paul in 1947, who contributed to the reputation of the estate and developed the vineyard to its current size of around ten hectares. Today, the estate is run by his son Philippe, with his experience in Burgundy, Bordeaux and New Zealand. The vineyard is over 30 years old on average, and each grape variety is planted according to the geology of the soil in order to obtain the best expression of the grape. The vines are protected by herbal preparations and natural substances, the soils are plowed and nourished with compost, respecting nature and its rhythms. The estate produces three ranges of wines: fruit wines or the “Kubler signature” (blends from different vineyards), terroir wines (from the Crus Breitenberg, Weingarten and the Grand Cru Zinnkoepfle) and sweet wines from late harvests and selection of noble grapes.
Nuances de Neroli is made from Gewürztraminer whose vines were planted in 1981, 1985, 1997, 2005 and 2010. The whole bunches are gently pressed for 5 hours. After a light settling, fermentation lasts 1 month in stainless steel vats. The aging is carried out in stainless steel vats on total lees until spring, then on fine lees until bottling. This wine is semi-dry with 25 g/L of residual sugars.
