A textbook Gewurz, with 11g/L residual sugar but enough acidity to make that seem far lower. The grapes were grown on steep, southeast-facing slopes and produce a deeply aromatic and perfumed wine with golden hints in the glass. There's an intensity of apricot and lychee fruit, with a suggestion of rose water and ginger spice too. Try this with spicy food and you'll discover a match made in heaven.
