impression of harmony in a highly quaffable wine.”

Wine character
Color: intensive light-golden yellow
Smell: This Gewürztraminer selection is characterized by a dense, finely knit nose revealing exotic tropical aromas of grapefruit, lime, lychee and orange
underpinned with rose leaf and ginger notes.
Taste: The fruity aromatic character of the wine continues on the palate, which makes it highly quaffable. With its classic dry finish, the wine is complex but at the
same time very salty and smooth.
Simple pairings
An attractive combination with the sweet and sour dishes typical of Asian cuisine, grilled scorpion fish or swordfish, and pink-roasted pigeon breast as well as
squash gnocchi with walnuts and Alba truffles with a Balsamico dressing; also ideal with rice pudding with cinnamon; and with mild blue cheese, like a mild
gorgonzola.
