NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of aromatic flowers, such as rose petals and jasmine, intertwined with exotic fruit notes of lychee and pineapple.These fragrances are complemented by hints of spice, including ginger and clove, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and full-bodied texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of ripe tropical fruits, such as mango and passion fruit, mingle with more delicate notes of orange blossom and honey. This is a powerful and intense Gewürztaminer, made in a dry version, allowin gto fully appreciate the potential of this grape.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Léon Boesch
Region: Alsace
Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles.
Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
