Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Goldert 1996
This is for the moment the most aromatic gewurztraminer ever produced on the Domaine. Ripe and elegant, thank to a very good acidity, this wine litterally explodes in the glass with floral aromas. Despite a very long fermentation (12months) this wine still shows some roundness on the palate.
The Goldert Grand Cru of Gueberschwihr
The Goldert of Gueberschwihr is the only locality in Alsace where the geological substratum is composed solely of marine oolithic limestone. Traditionally, the majority of the Goldert is planted to Gewurztraminer and Muscat. These grape varieties are reputed for producing wines with great finesse, structure and a discreet, however complex, bouquet.
