Hengst Vendange Tardive

2001 Alsace Grand Cru Gewurztraminer

Domaine Josmeyer Hengst Vendange Tardive is a remarkable white wine crafted from the Gewurztraminer varietal, hailing from the prestigious Alsace Grand Cru region. This vintage, coming from 2001, showcases the incredible depth and complexity characteristic of late-harvest wines. The body is full, offering a luscious mouthfeel that envelops the palate. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the wine's notable sweetness and fruit intensity, which is pronounced with layers of exotic fruits like lychee and apricot, accompanied by hints of floral notes. The tannins are soft and subtle, allowing the wine's rich flavors to take center stage without overwhelming the experience. As you sip, the wine presents an elegantly dry finish, making it an exquisite choice for pairing with desserts or enjoying on its own.
