Tasting notes
Its colour is intense, yellow with light golden highlights. The pink almost red colour of the grapes naturally influences the colour of the wine.
A rich and exuberant aromatic palette characterizes Gewurztraminer. The bouquet is intense and complex, offering an explosion of exotic fruits (lychee, passion fruit, pineapple, mango), flowers (notably rose), citrus (orange peel) and spices (gingerbread, cinnamon, peppermint, cloves and pepper). Frequent aromas of honey and ripe fruits.
The most aromatic wine, very floral (rose petal), exotic fruit cocktail, lytchee, spices like coriander seeds, confied ginger, very long finish.

GEWURZTRAMINER
Gewurztraminer is a moderately productive, early ripening grape. It is well-adapted to sandy-chalky, granite-rich, and clay-sand soils. It is a demanding varietal that thrives with good exposure. This grape is the symbol of Alsace, born there, the word << gewurz >> means spicy in Alsace native language. This one is really delicate compared to other gewurz.
