Alsace, Domaine Edmond Rentz, Gewurztraminer Rotenburg, AOC Alsace, Blanc

Presentation

Originating from two steeply sloping terroirs (Rotenberg and Burg) exposed east and south, whose limestone soil gives it a brick-red hue and brightly coloured marls formed on gravel. The synergy of these two terroirs brings forth a most intense sensory experience.The blending of these two terroirs distinguishes a variety of nicely perfumed aromas on the nose and provides a strong and long-lasting complex structure on the palate.

Winemaking

Traditional vinification and cultivation method. The grapes are harvested manually and then progressively pressed in a pneumatic press in order to extract the juice and aromas. The naturally present yeast on the grapes will start the alcoholic fermentation process that will change the grape juice into wine. Temperature controls are conducted throughout the fermentation process in order to guarantee persistence and balance. Two to three months after the fermentation process, the wine is racked in order to start maturing. Before bottling, each vat is filtered in order to guarantee the organic stability and conservation of the wine.
