Tasting Notes

There’s nothing obvious about this intensely spicy gewurz. In fact, studying the aromas is like solving an intricate puzzle. Very powerful and creamy with succulent tropical-fruit character, the bold minerality balancing the touch of sweetness. The palate is no less intriguing, thanks to the cool depths that are ever more revealed on the very refined finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Indice 3. Bright gold colour. Whilst there are hints of rose and lychee, this nose offers a higher toned character of white flowers and succulent white fruit. There palate is oily and lightly sweet, but remains slender in fruit thanks to the continued florality. This is slick, with plumper character building through the mid-palate. Juicy and lightly honeyed, it has a long, fine finish.
