Sélection de Grains Nobles Grand Cru Kirchberg de Ribauvillé Gewurztraminer

Type: sweet white wine

Sweetness: 4 (scale from 1 = dry to 5 = liquor-like).

Terroir : The vineyard is located in the Kirchberg Grand Cru Area. The soil is composed of marl-limestone and a little sandstone. South-east-south exposure.

Comment for the 2015 vintage: The nose is vivid with aromas of dried herbs and herbal teas, typical of this vintage. The mouth is strong and rich, giving a glimpse of over-maturation aromas (reminding of raisins) due to Botrytis Cinerea.

Food and wine pairing : preferably drunk between 10 and 12°C. This nectar is best enjoyed on its own.

Best consumed: 20 years and over, depending on storing conditions.
