Gustave Lorentz Gewurztraminer Reserve

Gold yellow and clear color. Expressive floral nose with some roses hints, fragrances of apricot and tropical fruits. Supple and fresh, complex and rich but still elegant and food friendly due to its freshness. Aromas of exotic fruits and different spices and a peppery/ginger finish. Gastronomic Gewurztraminer with surprising of dry finish.Happy match for fish in spicy sauces (ginger sauce, sea bass with fennel), smoked salmon, appreciated with sweet and sour dishes, spicy cuisines (Thaï, Indian or Chinese) as well as strong cheeses as Munster, Epoisse, Blue cheese or Brie de Meaux.
