Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Turckheim 1999
This wine comes mostly from our vines located near our cellars in the Herrenweg vineyard (warm and gravely soil). The nose is very open, showing powerful spicy/rose aromas. The very slow fermentation brought a rich and onctuous structure associated with a good acidity. The finish shows classic gewurztraminer tannins and rich spiciness.
