2019 Ernst Bretz Gewürztraminer Reserve Trocken

Ernst Bretz Gewürztraminer Reserve Trocken is an aromatic dry wine from the Rheinhessen. Germany is probably not the first country that springs to mind when one thinks about this spicy, aromatic grape variety, where the Riesling grape dominates. There is only a small amount of Gewurztraminer planted in Germany and it is usually vinified as a dry wine that is a little less austere than those of Alsace.

Straw yellow in colour with silvery gold tints. The nose is very complex, with notes of exotic fruits (lychee, mango) and subtle aromas of white pepper. The mouth is full and very long. This is a wine with good freshness from lingering acidity balanced with a touch of residual sugar on the finish.
