The vineyard : The grapes come from the parcel Fronholz, ventilated hill with a south exposure and siliceous clay ground. This allows elegant and structured wines with ripe aromatic expression.
The wine : 100% Gewurztraminer
Wine-making process : The harvest is hand-picked and whole pressed in a long pneumatic process (8 to 9 hours) to extract gently he aromatic potential. After static racking, yeasts are added to control the fermentation, which lasts six to eight months. Ageing on total lees in oaky tanks. Sterile filtration before bottling.
Tasting notes : Well-balanced and complexe. Very exotic on the first nose (mango, litchi), it shows then more spicy hints (Sichuan pepper) and floral flavours. The palate is rich with a sweet and smooth sensation pictured by the mango aroma. Beautiful structure and roundness with great harmony.
