Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim 1999
Wintzenheim is a village with a slightly cooler climate than Turckheim. This explains why the major quality of the wines from Wintzenheim are their ageing potential. Made entirely from our 20 year old vines in the Hengst, this very spicy/peppery wine has real ageing structure and a very dry, all most austere palate, typical of the rich limestone soils.
