Munster cheese & Alsace
Alsace munster, a powerful, pungent washed-rind cheese, pairs with Alsace Gewurztraminer. This aromatic, spicy grape is the only one that can stand up to munster's intense aromas without losing its personality.

Sommelier tip
This is one of the most iconic pairings in Alsace gastronomy. A Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives (off-dry) will be even more harmonious with a highly aged munster. Serve the cheese with cumin, an Alsace tradition.
