Cave de Hunawihr Gewurztraminer Reserve

Pale straw yellow in colour with elegant silver reflections. The bouquet is complex with delicate aromas of lychee, mango and rose and subtle notes of spice. The palate is full bodied, this off-dry wine has a refreshing vibrant acidity with hints of florals lingering on the finish.
