Details
This Gewurztraminer shows lovely balance of ripeness, varietal purity and finesse (i.e. not overblown and flabby like some). Fragrant rose-petal/water and grapefruit aromas with a hint of sweet spice, quite rich but with fine structure and complexity, spicy juicy fruit and acidity combine well to finish.
Grapes are selected from vineyards with diverse soils - limestone, granite, gravel, marl and sandstone - which impart different characters and styles to the overall blend, and harvested by hand and machine, depending on site. Produced 'traditionally' by winemaker Jean Michel Lihrmann - pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no finings and light filtration before bottling - all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. His philosophy is to make wines with good acidity and fruit balance. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans
Try with blue cheeses, exotic cuisine such as the lemongrass flavours of Thai food or fish/chicken curries featuring ginger, mustard seed etc. and fair spice. Or even desserts if not too sweet.
