Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Gueberschwihr 1999
Harvested from very old vines in the village of Gueberschwihr, this gewurztraminer fermented completely dry.
Tasting notes
12/2001 : It is showing strong rose/spicy flavours associated to a relatively austere, mineral palate, showing a powerful finish. It is rare to produce dry gewürztraminer like this, but it will certainly please the amateurs of really spicy food.
The Goldert Grand Cru of Gueberschwihr
The Goldert of Gueberschwihr is the only locality in Alsace where the geological substratum is composed solely of marine oolithic limestone. Traditionally, the majority of the Goldert is planted to Gewurztraminer and Muscat. These grape varieties are reputed for producing wines with great finesse, structure and a discreet, however complex, bouquet.
