Joseph Cattin 2009 Vendanges Tardives Gewurztraminer (Alsace)

Country: France / Vendanges Tardives
Variety: Gewürztraminer Alsace
Winery: Joseph Cattin / Alsace

As a Gewurztraminer becomes sweeter, it loses some of its spice. What it gains, as here, is a more intense, honeyed and fragrant character that also allows space for acidity. There is some dryness on the finish, as well as a pleasant astringency. Drink until 2019.
