2015 Gewürztraminer Furstentum Vendages Tardives Weinbach

The fantastic Grand Cru vineyard Furstentum is one of the best Gewürztraminer vineyards in the world. The wines from the Furstentum vineyard are characterised by a unique combination of extreme concentration and freshness. In addition, the wines, sweet as well as dry, have a slightly smoky touch, as the grapes on the Furstentum vineyard are often affected by botrytis, the so-called noble rot. Gewürztraminer Furstentum Grand Cru Vendanges Tardives is made from late harvest grapes. The golden wine offers an intriguing perfumed aroma of heather honey, minerals, violet and citrus. The flavour is like silk on the tongue, where it reveals an amazing concentration and intensity. The aftertaste lasts over a minute. Late harvest Gewürztraminer wines too often become one-dimensional, heavy and inelegant, but this wine is complex, floral and incredibly elegant!
