Food Matching Note:
It is very enjoyable as an apéritif and an ideal match for seafood and in particular for oriental food seasoned with curry and ginger. Furthermore, it is a perfect complement to cheeses or just by itself as a refreshing glass instead of dessert.
Tasting Note:
Brilliant colour slight straw yellow colour. Spices and perfumed aromas on the nose. The palate offers cinnamon, lychee and flavours. Clean crisp acidity and long elegant finish.
Detailed Tasting Note:
A seductive, golden yellow in colour with a stunning, classic Gewürtraminer aroma reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg and fresh rose petals, rich and concentrated on the palate, grapey, spicy, supple, almost creamy with fine acidity and excellent length.
Vinification Note:
As little as possible and as much as is absolutely necessary is the motto of the professional winery team. Experience and intuition go hand in hand with the most up-to-date technology. Fermentation tanks lined with a refrigeration liquid jacket, and high capacity refrigeration units are used for temperature controlled fermentation in order to preserve varietal character in white wines. There is still controversy surrounding methods of "raising" the young wine and the team at Schreckbichl/Colterenzio are constantly in touch with colleagues in other wine-growing areas from France to California to New Zealand.
