WINE DESCRIPTION
Sipp Mack Gewürztraminer Vieilles Vignes is dry white wine with pungent aromatic notes of exotic fruit and flowers alongside and oily texture and soft acidity. The Sipp Mack family estate is located in the village of Hunawihr. This wine is made from the oldest Gewürztraminer vines on the estate leading to a more concentrated mid-palate and a more viscous texture. The wine is fermented in neutral vessels to keep the focus upon the highly typical varietal fruit expression. This is a good match for boldly flavored cuisines like Thai or Indian, or for textural foods like parfaits.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

These aromas are complemented by delicate floral notes of rose petals adding a touch of complexity to the overall profile. Upon tasting, the wine displays a rich and full-bodied character, with a luscious texture that coats the palate. The flavors of tropical fruits persist, accompanied by hints of spice, such as ginger and clove. The Sipp Mack Gewürztraminer Vieilles Vignes is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own, but it also pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes.
