Le Vigneron au Marc de Gewurztraminer 200g

If you’re a washed-rind lover (or even washed-rind curious), this little gem is about to sweep you off your feet. Le Vigneron au Marc de Gewurztraminer is a soft, fragrant, beautifully balanced cheese that brings all the character of Alsace without the punch you might expect from stronger styles. Washed gently by hand with Marc de Gewurztraminer throughout its 15–30 days of ageing, it develops a delicate sweetness and aromatic warmth that makes it unbelievably moreish.

Under its blushing rind, the paste is soft, smooth and silky. The flavour is savoury, buttery and subtly fruity, with a gentle floral note from the Gewurztraminer marc. If you enjoy a cheese that’s expressive but not overpowering, this one will absolutely win you over — festive, indulgent and incredibly hard to stop eating.
