Originally from northern Italy, this is the emblematic grape of our region due to its slow maturation with cool nights giving its full varietal expression. Dry but full and intensely aromatic.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Nice deep lemon yellow colour, young and lively with abundant green hints, bright and fresh, it clings softly and tenderly to the glass.
Nose: A fresh, open, expressive bouquet, fruity and aromatic, agreeably perfumed but not excessively, the fine characteristics of Gewurztraminer are displayed with lots of charm and delicacy. We discover with pleasure true aromas of passion fruit, mango, fresh pineapple, as well as very floral touches of rose, jasmine, acacia blossom, pistachio and fresh almond.
Palate: The palate allows itself to be overwhelmed by a velvety softness, charming opulence and generosity, highlighted by a nicely aromatic freshness on the finish. Enjoy it now for its fine Gewurztraminer character and youthful charm, or keep it for 3 to 5 years.
Grape Varieties: 100% Gewürztraminer

Serve it at 8°C as an aperitif or paired with rich, spicy dishes, smoked fish, Oriental dishes.
