VISTA: Pale lemon yellow with greenish reflections, bright and clean

NOSE: Intense and elegant aromas: lychee, rose, flower petals, exotic fruit, and soft spices such as anise and licorice .

BOCA: Medium-bodied, silky, and velvety. The acidity is balanced, with tropical fruit, floral, and spicy notes reappearing, a slight sweetness in the background, and a clean, enveloping finish.

Cheese Board The aromatic intensity and glyceric point of Gewurztraminer harmonize wonderfully with the aged, creamy, or washed-rind cheeses on your board. It's especially well-suited for cheeses like pear pecorino or mild blues, where the wine provides freshness and balance.

Goat Cheese Salad One of the star pairings, as the sweetness of honey and goat cheese find a perfect ally in Gewürztraminer, a harmony of fruit, flower, and creaminess.

Argentine Beef Tataki: The wine's floral and spicy profile embraces the soy sauce and truffle well. The Gewurztraminer's natural sweetness counteracts the tataki's umami and adds elegance to the whole dish.

Caprese or Humita EmpanadasThe caprese salad melts with the floral notes of the wine, while the humita (sweet corn) empanada highlights the kind, exotic, and slightly spicy character of the Gewürztraminer.

Provoleta The intensity of the provoleta, along with the tomato and ham, is balanced by the freshness of the wine. The notes of rose and tropical fruit cleanse the palate between bites.

Vegetable Grill A perfect vegetable pairing, the expressiveness of Gewürztraminer enhances the toasted and smoky flavors of braised vegetables, adding a refreshing floral note.

Octopus tentacle An elegant contrast because the texture of the octopus and the richness of the purée are balanced by the freshness and exotic notes of the wine. The Japanese garlic sauce melds with the spicy profile of the Gewurztraminer.

From the magical village of Riquewihr, in the heart of Alsace, comes an aromatic jewel that embodies the tradition and character of one of the world's most prestigious terroirs: Agapé Expression Gewurztraminer 2021.

This wine is born from the know-how of Vincent Sipp, who, through ecological and environmentally friendly viticulture, manages to capture the purest essence of this unique varietal. From old vines planted in 1972 on the clay and well-drained soils of “Weissengrund,” this Gewürztraminer is much more than a wine: it's a sensory experience.

Ideal for those looking for a different white wine, as well as for lovers of gourmet pairings, the Expression 2021 is a Gewurztraminer with an Alsatian soul and a vocation for pleasure.
