WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Ostertag Fronholz Vendanges Tardives de Gewurztraminer is a highly sought-after wine produced by Domaine Ostertag, a renowned winery in Alsace, France. The wine is made from Gewurztraminer grapes grown in the Fronholz vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions. The grapes are harvested late in the season, allowing them to fully ripen and develop their signature aromas and flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection and sorting of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in oak barrels. The resulting wine is rich, complex, and full-bodied, with notes of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices. It is a perfect accompaniment to spicy Asian cuisine or strong cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Vendanges Tardives de Gewurztraminer from Domaine Ostertag Fronholz is a wonderfully balanced, full-bodied wine.Its nose is filled with aromas of ripe yellow fruit, fresh flowers, and delicate spice. On the palate, its intense flavor profile of lychee and tropical fruits is balanced by lush honey, floral notes, and a vibrant acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant sweetness that lingers on the tongue. Enjoy this unique and special wine now or cellar for a few more years for an even richer experience.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Ostertag

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.
