Domaines Schlumberger Les Princes Abbés Gewurztraminer (37.5cl)

This is an Alsace Gewurztraminer from Domaines Schlumberger, in a 37.5cl bottle. Les Princes Abbés takes its name from the religious dignitaries who once governed much of Alsace. The vines are managed using sustainable practices, and fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to keep the freshness and intensity of the aromas. It is golden yellow in colour. The nose is exuberant, with lychee, pineapple, rose petals and oriental spices. On the palate, sweetness and acidity are balanced in a medium-weight structure. The flavours follow the nose, with added honey and a delicate minerality that leaves the finish clean and persistent.
