Lucien Albrecht: Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives
Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives
- Varieties: 100% Gewurztraminer
- Type: White
- Region: Alsace, France
- Alcohol Level: 13.5%
Wine Description:
A result of a human know-how and the magic of nature, the designation Vendanges Tardives applies to wines made not only from the finest grapevines but also those affected by the famous “noble rot” or Botrytis Cinerea. Depending on the climate and the seasonal conditions, the vendages tardives can be harvested several weeks after the first snipping of the secateurs.
Tasting Note:
Beautiful deep golden colour, marked by an expressive nose, great aromatic intensity on notes of candied citrus (mandarin), sweet spices and honey. The attack on the palate is soft, with a nice freshness despite the sweetness, and a nice persistence on citrus.
