Alois Lageder Gewurztraminer 2017
Trentino- Alto-Adige, ItalyLageder Gewürztraminer is a mix of warm and cool sites: the warm Termeno gives richness and sweetness, while the higher and cooler sites in Valle Isarco bring the aromatics and the finesse. In some years the harvest can be a month and a half apart. The first thing you notice is the delicacy and lack of fat here. No oily notes, just pure, mineral, litchi, rose petals flecked with apricot, white pepper and a hint of ginger. Sausages are a great match along with pâtés, terrines and especially Thai curry dishes.Tasted: 29 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
