Traminer Aromatico Gewürztraminer IGT Am Sand 2023 - Alois Lageder

Alois Lageder's 2023 Am Sand is a Gewürztraminer from Alto Adige, made from grapes grown in sandy, limestone-rich soils around Termeno, Magrè and Lake Caldaro. The grapes are harvested to optimise ripeness for aromatic depth and freshness, sometimes with noble rot. It ages partly in stainless steel and partly in wooden casks for nine months. It suits grilled fish or shellfish, pâté, cheese and Thai cuisine. Intense, bright golden yellow. The nose centres on tropical and Mediterranean fruit, with mango, quince and passion fruit, plus spice and a mineral finish. The palate is full-bodied, balanced and fresh, with vivid fruity and spicy aromas and good aromatic persistence.
