Heissenberg Gewurztraminer 2004

Heissenberg Gewurztraminer 2004

Varietal: Gewurztraminer

Soil Type: Sandstone and clay

Aging: 11 months in 50 hl French oak cask

Alcohol: 13.5%

Tasting notes: This Gewurztraminer is a gorgeous example of this varietal grown in its home.  With an intense nose wavering between roses and lychee fruit, the palate is medium bodied, showing minerality.  It has a touch residual sugar to give it finesse and body; it is delicate and elegant with a long and lush finish.  Very clean, fragrant and refreshing.
