Benefiting from a truly exceptional vintage, we luxuriated in allowing the grapes to gracefully ripen on the vine, patiently awaiting their moment until the latter part of April. This wine, marked by subtlety and finesse, embarks on a captivating journey of continual evolution, gracefully traversing new aromatic landscapes. Gewürztraminer, a varietal known for its cellar potential, unfurls its charms over five to ten years, or even longer.
At first encounter, the nose reveals a sense of restraint, offering notes of orange marmalade, exotic jackfruit, and luscious candied apricots. Gradually, the aromatic tapestry deepens, unveiling an intriguing interplay of spices such as cumin and fenugreek, while grilled pineapple, crisp nashi pear, and the golden sweetness of honey emerge with each passing moment.
On the palate, this wine unfolds with deliberate grace, its nuances slowly revealing themselves. Delicately layered and imbued with depth, it maintains a persistent texture throughout. A touch drier than its predecessors, it exposes the mid-palate with greater clarity, allowing the true essence of the wine to shine through. With each successive sip, its serene, juicy, and utterly delectable nature becomes increasingly apparent, leaving an indelible impression of strength and character.
