Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim 1997
Very similar soil than the Herrenweg, but located just West of Wintzenheim. This vineyard is planted with 52 years old vines that always produce a very small crop, perfectly ripe and perhaps slightly more spicy wines than the Herrenweg. In 1997, the yield was small, there was lots of noble rot, allowing the grapes to reach high ripeness level and honey/spicy character This wine has the VT agreement, but still can be tasted and drunk very young on its fruit.
