Gewürztraminer 350 N.N. 2019

The Odinstal vineyard is a small enclave occupying five hectares high above Wachenheim an der Weinstraße. Due to the Rhine rift valley, in the Palatinate, a wide variety of rock forms are generally found on the surface in a very small space. At Odinstal, this phenomenon is so concentrated that four primary rocks are found here in direct proximity to each other - basalt, shell limestone, Keuper and mottled sandstone. Andreas Schumann and his team want to exploit precisely this diversity and clearly highlight the differences.

The Gewürztraminer should definitely not appear concentrated, overripe or opulent. A slender, elegant style is preferred at Odinstal. Whole cluster pressing brings structure and freshness to the wine. It is bottled without filtration.

Rarely does one have a Gewürztraminer in the glass that is so marked by yeast. A style that could prevail. As a result, the Traminer does not come across as cheesy or rosy. A nuance of lemongrass and lemon zest makes its way through. Coriander seed, anise and some fennel are also present on the nose. Behind the yeast-dominated framework, a floral nuance comes to the fore. Nutmeg is also perceptible. Overall, appealing, exciting and delicate.

On the palate, the Gewürztraminer 350 N.N. is literally in the juice Filigree, drinkable and playful. With a fine spice and a mild acidity, it knows how to convince all along the line. Aromatically, the Traminer comes very close to the nose also on the palate. The delicate, floral tone in the finish suits it perfectly.
