Vend. Tardives- Gewurzt. 2017

This late harvest wine comes from the terroir known as "GEHEY" with a south-east exposure, the GEHEY is gently sloping. The vines thrive on clay and sandy soils, the surface soil is made up of sandstone. The late harvest corresponds to the 2nd passage (after the 1st sorting of the SELECTIONS DE GRAINS NOBLES) where the grapes are picked when they are over-ripe, roasted and without any attack of noble rot.

To the eye : Light yellow colour

Nose : expressive with notes of mirabelle plum and dried fruit.

On the palate : full-bodied and rich, the wine is racy, dry with a good body. The acidity is broad and persistent, the wine has a long finish. A gastronomic wine.

Food & wine pairing  : Traditional Alsatian starters (quiches, flambé tarts...). The fatness of this wine allows it to be served with asparagus, charcuterie, poultry (poularde, lacquered duck), seafood and grilled fish.
