Sweet Wine
750ml
Label : Good Label
Level : Neck Level
Capsule : Good Capsule
The 2011 Albert Mann Furstentum Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives hails from a vintage that saw a mixed bag globally, with Europe experiencing an unseasonably hot spring, cool summer, and relatively warm autumn. Domaine Albert Mann, a family estate with roots tracing back to the 17th century, has been practicing biodynamics since 2000, focusing on producing wines of finesse and freshness. For their sweet wines, they employ traditional vertical pressing to gently extract juice from botrytised grapes, resulting in lower alcohol levels, typically between 9-11%.
This "exotically extravagant gewurz masterpiece" offers an incredible nose of orange peel and orange blossoms, distinguishing itself from the typical honeyed, thick, and exotic fruit character often found in late-harvest Gewürztraminer. It's likened to "bathing in Turkish delight" with abundant notes of dried papayas. The palate is remarkably pure and airy, presenting a medium to full body with impeccable balance, where the ample natural grape sweetness is already fully integrated. It culminates in a super-long, super-silky finish. Other nuances include floral and herbal spicy notes, mandarin, ripe mushroom, juicy fruit, good acidity, and a hint of wet stone. 【 Exotically extravagant gewurz masterpiece with an incredible nose of orange peel and orange blossoms, defying typical late-harvest Gewürztraminer profiles 】.
Food Pairing: This luscious sweet wine is a perfect match for fruit-based desserts. It can also beautifully complement richer dishes like foie gras or strong blue cheeses.
Event Suggestions: Ideal for a celebratory dessert course, a festive gathering, or as a luxurious treat to conclude a special meal. Its unique and exotic profile makes it a memorable conversation starter.
