Nice yellow golden colour, brilliant. Very aromatic, bright, intense nose, very fine with notes of passion fruits, mango, charming spices. Ripe exotic fruits wrap all the palate to reveal the concentration and the richness of this wine. A velvety sensation pervades us progressively. Final includes nuances of spices. To serve at 10°C. An absolute delight with spicy dishes and blue cheeses. It will be a good companion for friendly occasions.
100 % Gewurztraminer
Our Gewurztraminer Old Vines is produced from the historic plots of our estate on the Cru of Sckenkenberg. Clay-limestone soil on Upper Muschelkalk, gently sloping. Located on the hills at the top of Obernai with exposure south south-east. It produces rich, full and distinctive wines. 45 years old vines.
The grapes have been harvested by hand in small baskets.
Presses are filled by gravity, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention. The juice is extracted with infinite care in our pneumatic press. The slow, gentle pressing avoids crushing the stalks and pips.After a few hours decanting, must is fermented in wooden tuns or stainless tanks with regulated temperature.
Must fermentation starts thanks to natural yeasts and lasts from 4 to 10 weeks.
