Description

The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer is characterised by sumptuous fruit. Deep golden yellow in colour with green reflexes, on the nose it is reminiscent of ripe apricot and peach intermingled with exotic fruits such as lychee, mango and passion fruit. The fruit characteristics follow through on the palate; full-bodied, luscious but dry, the opulence cut by vibrant, firm acidity finishing elegant, dry and aromatic.This wine is delicious enjoyed in solitude, though it is perfect to accompany shellfish, oysters or foie gras, sophisticated fish dishes and asian inspired food.

Perfumed, with tea rose, lychee, honey and ground cardamom and ginger notes, this medium-bodied version is soft and creamy on the palate, balanced by citrus peel acidity and a pleasing hint of pink grapefruit zest that lingers on the stony finish.
