Every quality that one would expect to find in a Gewurztraminer is present - a youthful freshness, a brilliant light green sheen, and a frank and exemplary purity of varietal expression. Its impressively perfumed and aromatic bouquet is full of fruit (apple, white peach, passion fruit, lychee, mango) and flowers (rose, jasmine, reseda) with a touch of spice, all enveloped with enchanting delicacy. It is light and airy on the palate, refreshing and easy to drink, lively, ripe and superbly elegant, with a long, clean finish that is as pure and perfumed as one could wish for. This is a wine to enjoy already, or within the next year, in order not to miss its unique, textbook varietal character. Serve at 8°C as an aperitif, or with starters, meat terrine, marinated or poached fish, shellfish... An exhuberant gewurz held in a tight and stony structure, this wine comes off bold and firm. Teh alcohal shows, adding spice rather than heat, building the fruit to a peaches and cream richness. A meaty white for saucisson or other hearty fare. -W&S
