Vendanges Tardives Gewurztraminer
A.O.C. (French quality wine)
Type : sweet white wine
Sweetness : 4
Terroir :
The vineyard is located in the Kirchberg Grand Cru Area. The soil is composed of marl-limestone and a little sandstone. South-east-south exposure.
Comment :
The nose is intense and fresh with lime peels aromas which is typical of the terroir, but also touches of spices and over-ripe exotic fruits. The palate is round with candied fruits flavours. The mouth-feel may be full-bodied, but it is also tense and fresh. The finish is long.
Food and wine pairing :
Preferably drunk between 10 and 12 ° C. Ideal with foie gras, which is a dish that we would recommend for the end of the meal rather than as a starter or appetiser. It will interact well with the strength of a blue cheese (Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola) or may be perfect to end a meal along with a chocolate dessert.
Best consumed : within 15 to 20 years.
