Weinbach Gewurztraminer Altenbourg

A complex nose of honeysuckle, quince and nutmeg with a touch of smokiness. A voluptuous and creamy attack which evolves towards notes of candied orange, rose petals, and the spiciness of green anise. The acidity and the minerality provide an elegant backbone and keep the wine very fresh from the beginning to the end. This great modern gewurz that is way drier than wines of this category used to be (but is certainly not analytically dry) has a wealth of delicate spice and exotic fruit aromas. The full body and richness creep up on you very slowly and glide across the palate. Dangerously fresh and wonderfully inspiring in the super-long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. 97pts James Suckling
