Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Heimbourg 1998
The Heimbourg gewurztraminer was harvested in two times: resulting in a dry wine and a VT. This wine has very little botrytis and shows very strong aromatic aromas, still very floral, and well balanced with a fresh acidity that hide the huge ripeness of the wine. The alcohol and sweetness of this wine are hidden behind an harmonious structure.
The Heimbourg of Turckheim
The wines produced on the Heimbourg are rich, opulent, often spicy and can include noble rot. The slower ripening of the grapes often produces wines that are aromatically expressive from a young age, contrary to its neighbour the Clos Jebsal with whom we have to show patience.
