Gewurztraminer
About this wine
A late-harvest (Vendanges Tardives) sweet wine made from overripe Gewurztraminer grapes picked well after the classic harvest. Deep straw yellow with a fine, floral nose and considerable amplitude in the mouth, showing sweet spice and yellow-fruit notes with freshness that keeps the sugar in check.
A gentle way to try Alsace's dessert-wine tradition without the intensity of a full Sélection de Grains Nobles.
Sommelier's Note
