Bannwarth, La Vie en Rose 2018 750ml

Personality: A wonderful example of macerated Gewurz – aromatic, with flamboyant notes of roses and Oriental spices, yet completely dry and easy to drink.

Vineyard: Loess, loamy-limestone. Farmed biodynamically by Stéphane & co. themselves. The average age of vines is 45 years.

Making of: The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard, keeping only the ripe and healthy ones. Destemmed and macerated for 10 days in stainless steel, with two daily gentle punch-downs by hand. Aged on its fine lees for 10 months, racked and bottled without fining or sulfur addition.
