Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim 1999 - Vieilles Vignes
Usually, this wine and the previous wine are blended together. In 1999, this vineyard was harvested slightly earlier and fermented very slowly, which made any blending impossible. It is surely the age of the vines (50+years) and the gravely soil which explains a much rounder and softer palate, it has a aromatic rose scented nose. The small yields will guarantee good ageing.
