Gewurztraminer Hengst AOC Grand Cru Alsace

Vinification of Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Hengst

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. The grapes are gently pressed and the juice is clarified naturally at low temperature. Fermentation is slow and ageing on fine lees for a minimum of 9 months gives the wine the richness and intense, complex expression of the world's greatest white wines.

Description of Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Hengst
A subtle, elegant and complex vanilla nose, with hints of soft spices and pulpy fruit. Very light on the palate, this Grand Cru offers great harmony and balance between sweetness and acidity. This wine is full-bodied and heady. Its bouquet is reminiscent of warm spices, with exotic notes of mango and fresh pineapple.

It goes well with all spicy dishes, combining acidity and sugar beautifully. Ready for a gastronomic world tour? You'll love sharing it with a Chinese fondue or duck with plum sauce.
