Dornach – Gewurztraminer – Louis 53 – 2023
Dornach – Gewurztraminer – Louis 53 – 2023
Patrick's Gewürztraminer is a thing of subtle beauty. Dry, aromatic and mineral, it highlights the varietal’s signature notes without any excess weight on the palate. A heroic feat for a grape that can sometimes show aspects that are overly spicy or viscous. 100% Gewürztraminer, fermented and aged in large acacia casks. The Gewurz adds another unicorn to Dornach's blessing (that's actually what a group of unicorns is called!)

The true embodiment of living in harmony with nature can be found at Dornach. Patrick Uccelli, his wife Karoline, and their three young children farm the terraced vineyards above Salorno originally planted by his family in 1836.
The ideals of biodynamicsare beautifully rendered here where grapes, other fruits, vegetables, grains, bees and livestock all exist harmoniously creating a closed ecosystem with amazing biodiversity. Dornach’s Pinot Blanc and Pinot Nero burst with varietal and regional character, pure expressions of site and personality.
