Description of the wine Gewurztraminer 1999
The ideal maturity was perhaps more difficult to obtain in the gewurztraminer grape variety in 1999 in Alsace. If this difficulty was surpassed, then 1999 is an interesting vintage because it offers gewurztraminer which are well balanced, often quite dry with strong spicy/floral flavours. This generic wine comes from various young vines, mostly in Turckheim. Thanks to a correct maturity, it is ample, full-bodied and very dry, showing expressive floral/rose aromas on the nose. It is a wine for early drinking.
