Frick, Pierre 2022 Alsace Gewurztraminer Maceration
The 2020 Frick Gewurstraminer Macération is from two parcels: Terroir Krottenfues, soil marno-gréseux, high on a slope above grand Cru Vorbourg, and from a limestone terroir below Grand Cru Steinert, facing due east. Grapes see ten-days of whole-cluster maceration before pressing, and the wine is matured on its lees for six months in hundred year-old foudres. The wine shows a bright and luminous orange tinted color and complex aromas or rose, cinnamon, cardamon, white pepper and orange zest. It's dry, ample and rich with discreet tannins and flavors of white fruits, citrus, rosewater, ginger, pepper, with a long spicy finish. Serve thi Gewurztraminer as an aperitif or with Asian and spicy dishes of fish, vegetables or white meats. (13.1% alc, 4.0 gr/l total acidity, 0.0 g/l RS Dry)
