NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a Gewürztraminer Spätlese produced by Fritz Windisch from the Herrnsheimer Schloss vineyard.Gewürztraminer is a white grape variety known for its aromatic and floral characteristics. Spätlese indicates that the grapes used for this wine were harvested late, resulting in a higher level of ripeness and sweetness.
On the nose, expect intense aromas of rose petals, lychee, and tropical fruits. The palate is rich and medium to full-bodied, with flavors of ripe peach, apricot, and honey. The sweetness is well-balanced by a refreshing acidity, providing a harmonious and lingering finish.
This wine pairs well with spicy Asian cuisine, particularly dishes with Thai or Indian flavors. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a dessert wine. Serve it chilled to fully appreciate its aromatic profile.

Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region, located in the Rhine River Valley in the western part of the country. It is known for its diverse range of wines, from dry whites to sweet dessert wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman Empire.
Rheinhessen has been producing wine since the Roman Empire, when it was known as the province of Germania Superior. The region was an important center of winemaking during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the first German wine laws were established. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it was revived in the 20th century with the introduction of new grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques. Today, Rheinhessen is one of the most dynamic wine regions in the world, with many winemakers adopting innovative approach to winemaking.CUSTOMER RATING
