Tasting notes
Bright and expressive, this Gewurztraminer opens with lifted aromas of rose petal, lychee, ripe apricot, and a subtle hint of ginger spice. The palate is generous and textured, balancing its natural richness with a fresh, clean line of acidity. Exotic fruit, citrus peel, and delicate floral notes unfold through the finish, which is long, fragrant, and slightly spicy. Elegant and inviting, it shows both opulence and finesse.
