The Gewurztraminer is the most extravagant variety of the Alsatian vineyard. Ample and suave, it offers a flavours' explosion. It presents a deep yellow color with golden hues and is complex and powerful with aromas of exotic fruits (lychee, passion fruit, pineapple, mango...), flowers (rose in particular), citrus and spices.
That's a perfect wine as an aperitif, by being the perfect accompaniment to foie gras or strong cheese.
Fans of sweet wines, keep in mind that Gewurztraminer does wonderfully well in late harvest.
