The nose is immediately spicy - reminiscent of pelargonium, honeysuckle and jasmine blossoms. The palate reflects all that is detected on the nose, underpinned by surprising, enticing spring freshness. Good, textured length. Elegant balance, with refreshing interplay between residual sugar and acidity.

100% Gewurztraminer

The aromatics and residual sugar of this wine make it an ideal partner with spicy food. It does well with any dish containing coconut milk. It works well with white meat (fish and poultry), salads, vegetable dishes or simply on its own.
