Hartweg - Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Sonnenglanz 2018
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“The ‘sunbeam’ (Sonnenglanz) can be savored here in the glass. In 2018, the Gewürztraminer basked in the sun all summer long, starting each morning on the slopes of this southeast-facing grand cru, and was not harvested until September 24. The result is a sweet wine of intense golden yellow, with an expansive, distinctive nose of rose and lychee, nuanced by a honeyed note of overripeness. Exotic fruits mingle with dried fruits in a generous, round palate—rich without heaviness—with a long, spicy finish: a new Favorite this estate with a brilliant track record.
