Tasting notes
The 2022 Hengst Wintzenheim Gewurztraminer is very fine, deep, complex and saline on the flinty/peppery, herbal, saline and orange/lemon-scented nose. Rich but elegant and saline on the palate, with charcuterie and dried jam aromas, this is a rich but also elegant and savory Gewürztraminer with kumquat and orange peel notes on the orange-bitter finish. This is more on the dry than sweet side. 13.8% alcohol plus 23.7 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
