Gewürztraminer 2022

Wine description for Gewürztraminer 2022 from Domaine Albert Mann

Colour & appearance

Bright straw yellow with brilliant golden reflections in the glass - a visual promise of maturity and concentration.

Nose

Gewürztraminer shows its most elegant side here. Instead of the often overloaded flavours of many representatives of this grape variety, this 2022 is surprisingly disciplined and delicate. Delicate Elderflowers and Mace dominate, accompanied by subtle echoes of Cinnamon blossom and a fine citrus note of Oranges and Pomelo. For connoisseurs, exotic nuances of Mangosteen and Rambutan - proof of Domaine Albert Mann's precision and understanding of the terroir.

Palate

The attack surprises with a balanced residual sweetness that is never intrusive, but perfectly frames the aromatic complexity. Candied orange peel, Kumquats and Fully ripe mango unfold alongside Elderflower syrup. The seasoning component - Carnations, Allspice, Cinnamon blossoms - always remains discreet and integrated. The viscous, almost oily texture gives the wine remarkable pressure on the palate, while the 14% alcohol is skilfully integrated. The finish is long, aromatic and almost demands intense flavour partners on the plate.

The approximately 35-year-old vines for this Gewürztraminer are rooted in gravel and clay-limestone soils - an ideal combination for structure and aromatic depth.

Food pairing suggestions
