| ALTENBOURG GEWURZTRAMINER 2016 AC Alsace |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
ANDRÉ BLANCK & FILS |
| Bright very light yellow colour. Intense, sweet, very ripe lychee nose. Sweet, medium bodied, quite well structured, intense, very spicy, ripe apple-melon-lychee flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp finish. At peak. Serve with curry and/or spicy Thai dishes or even as a dessert wine - perhaps with cheese. Ready-to-drink and really terrific value (at least if you like this style). Has 13.5% alcohol and 29 g/L residual sugar. The recommended 2015 (***) with 90-points was released on October 29, 2016 at $19.95. |

A Best Buy |
| This estate has been family-owned and -operated for seven generations. The Altenbourg Gewurztraminer is sourced from vines averaging between 15 and 30 years of age planted on gentle slopes in clay and limestone soils. This wine is typically crafted in a concentrated, richly textured style. You can expect to discover a balanced, lively wine all decked out in Gewurztraminer's rose petal, lychee and peach aromas and flavours, accented with an underpinning spice note. Try with gently spiced foods. |
