2009 Gewürztraminer Auslese

TASTING NOTE
Redolent aromas of rose petals and lychee with light nuances of caramel. Juicy and intense on the palate with a mineralic smoothness. A mouthfilling dessert wine with a well-balanced sweetness/acidity which leads to an enjoyable long finish.

WINEMAKER’S NOTE
The fruits are from our single vineyard called Bischoffinger Steinbuck, which has loess and volcanic soil. Vintage 2009 presented us a lovely warm and dry autumn. It allowed us to spend the fruits additional hang-time on the vines to ripen perfectly. We were lucky to pick a dessert wine of this quality! Taking care to preserve all aromas we manufacutred the fruits very gently. The juice was fermented cold and aged in stainless steel tanks.
