Tasting Notes: Deep straw yellow is the color at the glass. Deeply aromatic and intense is the olfactory bouquet, opened by distinct hints of rose petals, then complemented by rich fruity tones reminiscent of pineapple and lychee. The palate is full and creamy, as aromatic as the nose and long in persistence.
PairingsFor aperitifs, it is ideal paired with shrimp cocktail.
Considerations:Shimmering, shining gold, then heady, persuasive aromas, and finally sensuality, softness and envelopment, enhanced by light, fresh and fragrant nuances. The picture is complete and well-organized, for a Gewürztraminer from Alto Adige like no other. Made by the Kaltern winery, this is a white that comes from perfectly forthright grapes, harvested just overripe. Left to rest in stainless steel for about four months, it is a white that is remembered for its gentle aromatics. It is a very good Gewürztraminer.
