2009 Kientzler Gewurztraminer

The Kientzler domaine is a small family-run estate consisting of just 12 hectares of vines, of which 3.7 hectares are classified Grand Cru. Riesling and Gewürztraminer make up about half of the families vineyards output of approximately 6,000 cases.

Brilliant pale straw colour with watery hue. The nose possesses intense aromas of lychee, musk and tropical fruits with a hint of honeysuckle as an end note. Rich luscious mouthfeel with flavours of exotic lychee dominate followed by some musk, Turkish delight and a touch of spice on the back palate. Almost oily like texture with clean medium dry finish. Excellent length with long lychee, musk and spice aftertaste.
