A staggering nose of exotic fruits, such as jackfruit. There is enveloping richness. In spite of its huge structure, the wine is very silky at the super long finish. Drink or hold. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.
Notes of petrichor, exotic fruits and honey on the nose here, with a little dried flower. The palate is full, rich, warm and spicy. The sweetness is carried by exotic fruits and oily texture. This is not for the faint-hearted, and is a full-throttle, exotic expression of the variety.
From red marl limestone soils, the 2016 Alsace Grand Cru Hengst Gewurztraminer opens with a very clear, intense and spicy-mineral bouquet that is very well-defined and fresh. On the palate, this is a rich, oily, concentrated, tannic and powerful Gewurtz with a long and aromatic finish. The wine is stunningly fresh and very tight. A long-distance runner for sure. Tasted June 2018. 2020 - 2030
