November 23, 2023 - PnP. Golden yellow color. No obvious (sugar) crystal sediments.
Nose: ginger, rose petal, tropical fruits and a hint of smoke.
Palate: big, ripe, kaleidoscope of tropical fruits and mandarin zest.
Sweetness: ZH clearly labels its wines Indice 1 (dry) to 5 (sweet). Dessert wines Vendange Tardive (VT) and Selection de Grains Nobles (SGN) are separate classification. This wine is Indice 3.
Paired with: Vietnamese egg roll w/ a thin slice of Vietnamese pepper and gâteaux salés. Yum!
If you want fruit, drink it now. Mature ZH sheds its fruits and residual sugar as it develops secondary aromatics.
It is a matter of taste preferences among white wine drinkers (esp. level of acidity), but I cannot find flaws to this gewurztraminer. It is what it is. -

December 23, 2019 - The King of Alsace Gewürtz! Apricots, honey, dried figues, ananas. Not too sweet, long on the aftertaste and great balance and strengh.
