Rich, ample Gewurztraminer !
Presentation
The vintage
The exceptional 2018 vintage will be remembered as much for its unusual weather as the care deployed in choosing the best harvest dates.
For the first time in Sipp Mack’s history, our harvest began in August with the Crémant grapes and finished 5 weeks later with the grapes for our late harvest wines! Patience was important as we micromanaged harvest dates to ensure the best grape quality. The challenge was successfully met, and the resulting wines are pure, refreshing and beautifully balanced.

Tasting
Very lush and exotic, this is a full-throttle late-harvest Gewurztraminer. Full body, round textured with a rich and not too sweet palate and a lively finish. Brilliant with foie gras or a honey-based dessert.
Reviews
"Quite a raisiny nose for this grape, but on the palate, the exotic personality of Gewurztraminer shows through, also rose petals. Full body and round textured with smoky power in the long finish " [+]
"Le Nez présente des notes de raisins confits. La bouche est exotique et florale avec de la rose. La finale minérale est riche et longue." [+]
