Robert Parker
“With nearly as much residual sugar as the corresponding Archenets, the 2008 Hengst Gewürztraminer nonetheless retains a primary juiciness. Aromas of pink grapefruit, orange zest, rose petals, cumin, and cinnamon on the nose—along with quince jelly—envelop the palate with a creamy texture. Ginger and a hint of candied citrus zest enhance the zing of the finish, which is sweet and subtly refreshing. It will be interesting to follow its development over the next 15–20 years.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker)

Food and Wine Pairings
This wine is remarkable with Asian cuisine that makes creative use of spices. It pairs wonderfully with curry and pepper. It goes well with cumin and hints of anise. Strong cheeses (Munster, Pont-l’Évêque, Bleu de Bresse, Maroilles) are the perfect match. Also try it with Creole and Mexican cuisine or duck à l’orange...
