Gewurtztraminer 'Amelie' Vignoble Des 2 Lunes 2018

The Gewurztraminer ‘Amelie’ from Vignoble des 2 Lunes is a sweet white wine from Alsace that releases sweet and aromatic scents typical of the grape variety. The category of sweet wines defines those wines that have a residual sugar content between 30 and 50 g/l, distinctly perceptible on the palate but not enough to classify them as sweet. This type is particularly widespread in Alsace, especially regarding Gewurztraminer, an aromatic grape that naturally tends to accumulate large concentrations of sugars. Regarding this label, the name is linked to Amélie, one of the two sisters of the Buecher family who have been running the Domaine since 2009.

Vignoble des 2 Lunes Gewurztraminer ‘Amelie’ originates from pure Gewurztraminer grapes cultivated under certified biodynamic regime since 2007. Once the right stage of ripeness is reached, the bunches are harvested and carefully selected, then pressed gently. The must obtained is then channeled into stainless steel tanks for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation conducted by only indigenous yeasts. Also, the subsequent maturation phase of a few months, which takes place on the fine lees, occurs in steel, without the use of wood, in order to enhance the expression of the grape variety and the territory to the maximum.

The Gewurztraminer Vignoble des 2 Lunes ‘Amelie’ has an intense and consistent golden yellow color. From the glass emerge enveloping and rich aromatic scents of lychee, pineapple, ripe apricot, peach, ginger, lily, and rose petals, with hints of honey, nutmeg, and flint as a complement. Warm and round tasting, full and structured, characterized by a delicate sweetness and a seductive aromatic vein that gives remarkable expressiveness to the persistent tasting finish.
