Louis Guntrum Gewurztraminer Trocken is an aromatic dry wine from the Rheinhessen. Germany is probably not the first country that springs to mind when one thinks about this spicy, aromatic grape variety, where the Riesling grape dominates. There is only a small amount of Gewurztraminer planted in Germany, and it is usually vinified as a dry wine; it tends to be a little less austere than Alsace Gewurztraminers.
The Louis Guntrum Estate was established in 1648. However, it was in 1909 that Louis Guntrum returned to the left bank of the Rhein River and settled in Nierstein. Today, the estate is in the hands of the 11th generation of the Guntrum family, Konstantin Guntrum and his wife Stephanie, since 2003 and includes some of the best vineyard sites in Nierstein and Oppenheim.
The estate benefits from the region’s unique microclimate. The diverse terroir and vineyards boast a combination of nutrient-rich soils, gentle slopes, and abundant sunshine, creating an ideal environment for cultivating exceptional grapes. Louis Guntrum specialises in the production of Riesling, but they also produce Gewurztraminer, Dornfelder, Pinot Noir and Sekt, among others and the wines are exported to over 50 countries.
The vineyards for this wine are located at the top of the hills on loam and clay soils. These are heavy soils with excellent absorptive capacity for rainwater. Louis Guntrum takes various measures in the vineyard, reduced pruning, defoliation and green harvest, to ensure a good harvest. and keep yields low. They also only use very limited and strictly monitored fertilisers and chemicals. Made only from carefully selected over-ripe grapes which undergo a gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
