Tasting | Full-bodied and powerful, it presents a real typicity with an explosion of exotic fruits (lychee, grapefruit, pineapple) and a slightly spicy finish. Less dry, Gewürztraminer owes its success to the wonderful balance between mellowness and acidity. |
Harvesting and wine making | The grapes are harvested by hand in a sloping vineyard. The grapes are partially destemmed and then undergo a controlled fermentation at 16°C. Finally the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks of 31 hectos. |
