Product Notes

Trimbach Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives is a sweet late harvest wine from the Alsace region of France. The grapes are harvested later than usual to allow them to fully ripen, resulting in a concentrated and aromatic wine. The aroma is intense with notes of lychee, rose petals, honey, and spices. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The sweetness is not cloying, but rather refreshing and well-structured. This wine pairs well with strong cheeses, foie gras, spicy dishes, or dessert. It is a complex and elegant wine that deserves a place at any special occasion.

Tasting Notes

One whiff of the Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive and your sense of smell is instantly pervaded with ham hock, celery root, brown spices, mint and honey. Primary juices include rose petals and spice and a dusty botrytis character to follow. This is a lusciously sweet and complex wine.

  • Hand-harvesting of the grapes Making use of gravity to process the juice in the cellar
  • Use of wooden and stainless steel casks to bring a perfect blend of tradition and modernity in the cellars
