F.E. Trimbach, Gewurztraminer 2016, Alsace, France
Tasting Note: An Alsacian gewurztraminer dripping with flavor-intensity and sun-driven fruit.
Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has a pronounced-intensity nose of lychee, green apple, green pear, banana, pineapple, quince and blossom.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied gewurztraminer has medium-plus-intensity, ripe-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completing with a long finish.
The wine has a somewhat creamy texture with golden-fruit notes running throughout the length of the taste.
There is midpalate complexity and balance between the acidity and fruit.
A reliable gewurztraminer from a reliable producer.
Tasting Note: Since 1626, Maison F.E. Trimbach has crafted wines of precision and focus from the classic terroirs of Alsace. Fresh and fragrant, Trimbach gewürztraminer is dry, spicy, rich and distinctly aromatic – a classic to enjoy with a wide range of foods like fish or white meat, spicy dishes or on its own.
