A gewurztraminer treated like a red: the skins macerate with the juice. The result has nothing of the sweet, perfumed gewurztraminer one expects — it is dry, tannic, structured, amber in colour. Aged in sandstone amphora, tank and old cask. The estate’s freest wine.
Tasting.
- Appearance
- Orange amber, slightly hazy — the wine is unfiltered.
- Nose
- Orange peel, black tea, sweet spices, dried flowers.
- Palate
- Dry and tannic, an almost rasping texture at first, then melting. Bitter, long finish.
Food pairings.
- Indian, Lebanese, Moroccan cooking
- Washed-rind cheeses
- Spiced charcuterie
- Roasted vegetables, squash, cumin carrots
The sommelier’s note.
- Temperature
- 12–14 °C
- Decanting
- Yes — an hour ahead, it opens up markedly
- Glass
- A red wine glass
Serve warmer than a classic white. A light deposit is normal: this is an unfiltered wine.
