Enate Gewürztraminer (box of 6 bottles)

Enate Gewürztraminer

Enate Gewürztraminer is complex and lush on the nose, brimming with honey, roses and spices. In the mouth it is a fleshy, plump wine that leaves a sweet impression despite its dry character.

The hand-picked bunches are destemmed. The perfectly ripe grapes are lightly crushed and soaked on the skins for 5 hours. After pneumatic pressing, a natural settling follows at 8°C. The young, clean must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16°C. Before bottling, the young wine undergoes a cold stabilization treatment at -5°C to promote aromatic purity.

The vineyards for this Gewurztraminer are located at 550-600 meters above sea level, protected by the Pyrenees. The humidity is low, partly due to the drying effect of gentle winds. The soil consists of a mixture of sand and loam, poor and permeable to water. Due to the altitude, the difference in temperature between day and night is very large, 35 ° C during the day, 15 ° C at night. This gives the grapes extra complexity, aromatic power and taste.

Wine - Food pairing

Great as a sultry aperitif or "chill-out" lounge wine. Excellent companion of foie gras, mousse / terrines / patés of chicken livers, salads with blue cheese, white meat with (blue) cheese sauce, creamy and not too sharp blue cheeses. Wonderful with dishes from Asian cuisine.
