Gewürztraminer 2018, Pfalz Germany

• 75cl bottle

Intense notes of lychees and rose, with some lighter not of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon. On the palate it’s a dry wine which is supple, with a nice balance of acidity and a finish with notes of lychees and citrus.

Vineyards

Soil and limestone subsoil. A hot, dry and sunny semi-continental climate.

Vintage

The beginning of the 2017-2018 winter was relatively mild with temperatures around 0/-1°C at the beginning of January. Spring too was full of surprises, with early bud-break (mid-April), the vines started to grow, helped by warm damp weather. As in 2017, summer brought with it a real heatwave but summer rain allowed the grape to develop normally, giving us some clues about a promising harvest in terms of quality and quantity.

Winemaking

Skin contact for around 12 hours, followed by 4 hours of gentle pressing. Settling, followed by low temperature fermentation (17-19°C) over several weeks. Matures in stainless steel vat on fine lees for 3 months.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted White Meats
• Fish/Shellfish
• Salads and Picnics
• Mild Creamy Cheeses
• Mature Strong Cheeses
• Oriental
• Spicy

You will appreciate its spicy side on cheeses or a meat curry
