Trimbach Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 2018
From Maison Trimbach in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, the Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 2018 is a refined dessert wine made from 100% Gewurztraminer. Sourced from organic Grand Cru Osterberg and old vines in Muelforst, Hunawihr, on marno-calcaire soils, it’s hand-harvested with passerillage and partial botrytis, offering a yellow-gold hue with vibrant complexity.
