WINE DESCRIPTION
The Kuentz-Bas Tradition Gewürztraminer is a distinguished expression from the acclaimed Husseren-les-Châteaux vineyards in Alsace. Crafted by Kuentz-Bas, this Gewürztraminer showcases the varietal’s distinctive character through meticulous winemaking techniques. Grapes are gently pressed over 3-6 hours, and the resulting juice undergoes fermentation before a brief period on fine lees, refining the wine’s complexity. The result is a vibrant, straw-yellow wine with golden hues, reflecting intense floral and spicy aromas complemented by elegant honey notes. Its full body, balanced acidity, and persistent flavor profile make it an exceptional choice for enhancing diverse dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Kuentz-Bas Tradition Gewürztraminer offers a rich bouquet of rose petals, lychee, and spicy ginger, mingling with honeyed undertones.On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, well-balanced texture with persistent flavors of ripe fruits and a touch of sweetness. Ideal with spicy dishes, especially fish or white meats, it also pairs beautifully with smoked cheeses.
