Tardus Gewurztraminer Late Harvest

The grapes are harvested in November when the ripe berries are already covered with the noble rot ‘Botrytis cinerea’ with the effect, that the juices and aromas within are naturally concentrated and intensified. After two months of fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is bottled and matures another two years in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

This late harvest shines with an intense golden color and captivates the nose with beguiling scents of rose petals, dried - and citrus fruits.  The palate reflects a powerful, well-structured wine with pleasant  residual sugar and subtle integrated acidity. A mild fragrance of  honey accompanied by an intensive juiciness and complexity provide  a round, harmonic and long lasting after taste.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs well with spicy, strong-flavored dishes, seafood, white meat, and apple strudel.
