Gewüztraminer ’Caveau’ – Arthur Metz
Gewurztraminer is Alsace’s most distinctive grape variety, capable of producing many styles, from dry to sweet. Albert Metz’s sits at the off-dry part of the spectrum: floral and spicy, balanced and finishing with a lovely length in the mouth.
Whatever the sweetness, Gewurztraminer d’Alsace is much appreciated for the richness of its bouquet, and a full-bodied robustness. It develops aromas of honey or exotic fruits and goes very well with desserts, cheeses and exotic cuisines. It is an excellent aperitif – unless it’s ‘Vendage Tardives’ ( ‘late harvest’) which are dessert wines worthy of ageing.
An intense golden yellow colour with aromas of flowers, lychee and passion fruit. After these floral and spicy notes, the palate is rich, full-bodied and well structured.
The wine can be kept for up to five years.
