The 2018 Fronholz Vendanges Tardives de Gewurztraminer offers an intensely aromatic but tonic bouquet of lychees, blood orange, candied lemons and candied black tea. Full-bodied, rich and stimulatingly bitter on the finish, this is an elegant, refined and digestible, well balanced and harmonious Gewurz with fine bitters and delicate tannin grip. It's not hugely complex but really elegant and stimulating. 11% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. 2018 was an amazing vintage for Gewurztraminer, whose grapes were shriveled healthy and picked with 18.5% potential alcohol and a very intense but elegant taste. After the VT, two Sélection Grain Noble were picked, one with potential alcohol of 24%, the other with 20%, the latter of which was declassified to this VT.
