Rolly Gassmann Gewürztraminer

Description

Why we love it
A very expressive Gewürztraminer with superb varietal characteristics – beautifully concentrated aromas, a lovely, honeyed mouthfeel and a fresh finish.

Tasting notes
Pale yellow in colour. On the nose, aromas of jasmine, rose petal and exotic fruits. A rich, complex palate, with notes of crisp apple mingling with jasmine and lychee. The richness is lifted by a fresh saline finish.

Food pairing
Excellent with Indian or Moroccan cuisine, or with pâté, creamy pork dishes or soft cheeses.

Additional information
Traditional vinification was carried out, with eight to 12 hours’ gentle pressing before fermentation using wild yeasts. Fermentation lasted for five months before the wine spent around two months on the lees up until the April following the harvest. The wine was then aged until bottling the next autumn.
