Description
Established in 1691 by M. Jodocus CISLE (former name of Zusslin), Domaine Valentin ZUSSLIN is now run by two generations of the Zusslin family who are following in the footsteps of their forbears. The winery is based in Orschwihr, south of Colmar, and the vines are planted on the slopes of the Bollenberg, Clos Liebenberg and Grand Cru Pfingstberg. Since 1997, the estate has been run in its entirety according to the principles of Bio-Dynamic culture. The vines are mainly worked by hand and a significant amount of time is devoted to caring for the soil!
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Valentin Zusslin Gewurztraminer Bollenberg is an off-dry white wine with complex aromas of rose, lychee, and tropical fruits like mango, balanced by notes of spice such as cumin and cardamom, and minerality from the limestone soil. On the palate, it has a silky texture and lively acidity that counters the sweetness, leading to a long finish with hints of quince.
