Vendanges Tardives

2005 Alsace Gewurztraminer

The Domaine Weinbach Vendanges Tardives, a stunning white wine from the renowned Alsace region, offers an enchanting experience with its opulent Gewurztraminer character. This 2005 vintage showcases a full-bodied profile that is beautifully balanced by its high acidity, providing a refreshing lift to the luscious flavors. Expect an impressive intensity of fruit, featuring aromatic notes of lychee, rose petal, and spices, which marry seamlessly on the palate. The wine is delightfully off-dry, enhancing the overall richness and complexity, while the soft, delicate tannins contribute to its smooth, rounded mouthfeel. This wine is a celebration of the terroir and a true testament to the artistry of late-harvest winemaking.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
