Gewürztraminer Reserve
Tasting Notes
Gustave Lorentz Gewurztraminer Reserve has a clear and pale-gold color, with an expressive floral and spicy nose. It seems like a spring carpet of blossoms. On the palate, it is a warm attack, but the acidity gives it its remarkable length. The wine is complex and rich but still elegant and food-friendly due to its freshness.
Vineyards
The grapes come from various hillside vineyards around the village of Bergheim, with a predominance of heavy clay/limestone soil.
Winemaking
They are hand-picked, usually at the beginning of October, with the whole grapes pressed. The pressed juice is separated from the free-run juice and undergoes 12-to-24 hours of “debourbage” or settling, to eliminate impurities, which are then filtered out. Fermentation takes place, using a combination of natural and selected yeasts, in stainless steel vats. The wine goes through two rackings, the first to separate the lees from the wine, and the second to clarify the wine. It sits in tanks for five months prior to bottling. It has the potential to age from seven-to-ten years.
