Gewürztraminer Alsace, Tradition, Organic, Emile Beyer

The Gewürztraminer grapes are handpicked quite late, in October, from vineyards planted on limestone soils. After a gentle pressing and light cold settling, the wines are fermenting with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on the fine lees for four months and no malolactic fermentation is carried out. Shows floral aromas of rose nuanced with orange blossom and hints of spicy ginger; the palate finishes with a delicate sweetness.

About the Wine

Gewürztraminer

Guh-VERTZ-truh-mean-er

Gewürztraminer is a very distinctive aromatic variety. It's often full bodied, almost oily in texture with typical tasting notes of lychees and rose and can be spicy. Sometimes off-dry it can make a delightful wine match to Asian foods. However, high alcohol can be common and too much spice can clash.

Flavours:

Apricot
Ginger
Grapefruit
Lychee

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
