Color
A brilliant golden yellow stands out through the light.
Nose
At first smell, the 2017 Gewurztraminer Furstentum Grand Cru "Vieilles Vignes" shines with its expressive minerality, which draws a smoky and stony profile. But with a little airing, the true aroma bouquet unfolds. It unleashes an exquisite blend of pineapple, grapefruit, mango, lychee and passion fruit. This fragrant fruit palette is caressed by the seductive sweetness of rose and acacia blossom, paired with a subtle spiciness of cardamom, star anise and curry.
Palate
On the tongue, the wine balances a creamy, noble sweetness with the liveliness of the fruit flavours and an invigorating acidity. This fantastic combination is supported by the striking minerality that was already noticeable on the nose. In fact, the wine misses any heaviness and reveals a wonderfully graceful drinkability that seems youthful and refreshing.
Food recommendations
For perfect harmony with this Gewurztraminer, we recommend a spicy vegetable curry with crispy fried tofu. Alternatively, a juicy duck breast with rocket salad, topped with a raspberry vinaigrette and accompanied by glass noodles, is a perfect match. And for a sweet finish, a plum crumble with an aromatic Gewürztraminer cream scores highly.
