Gewurztraminer

Valencia, Spain. This Tempranillo from Casa Lluch comes from higher elevation vineyards of clay and limestone, inland from Valencia. To the eye it is a dense, dark ruby hue and the nose is fragrant...

Alsace, France.   The onset in the mouth is dense, fleshy and tender. The alcohol support is full-­bodied. The wine evolves in a medium with an open and vigorous liveliness marked by a sparkling note. The range of aromas is reminiscent of exotic fruits, grapefruit, mango and lychee, in addition to flowers, peony, rose and spices, peppermint, ginger. We perceive also a hint of bitterness. The finish has a beautiful length, 9-­‐10 caudalies, with a frank liveliness and a lingering hint of bitterness. The balance of this wine is rich and soft. The grape is expressed very beautiful way. Brilliant !!!

Alsace, France. ‘The 2018 Grand Cru Rosacker Gewurztraminer is clear and smoky on the nose, fresh and nicely spicy. On the palate this is a very elegant, finessed and salty Gewurz with a nice tannin grip and structure. The finish is long and complex, well structured, and, although it is quite sweet, is a persistent and expressive Gewurz that is nicely discreet. Drink 2022-2035.’

The wine is dry and has a good clean acid line. The wine has significant persistence...
