Description

Product description for Nikolaihof Gewürztraminer 2009 (bio)

Archive Release 2024.

Colour

Radiant, bright golden yellow

Nose

Delightful, crystal-clear, very appealing aroma. Lavish floral notes and equally rich fruit on the nose. Lots of roses, Amalfi lemons, pink grapefruit, cuquats, and Traminer grapes. Mustard seeds, saffron, curry, and fennel. Smoky, bacony aromas give the entire cocktail of flavours an additional spiciness without seeming baroque.

Palate

The taste is also convincing from the first sip. Deep, densely powerful, rich, and saturated. With distinct bitter tones that are not overpowering, however. The creamy flow has little acidity, giving the wine even more fullness, hints of bacon and meat. These curves may not appear entirely elegant and racy, but they fully serve their purpose in terms of taste. I believe that wines of this variety are unfairly maligned. Copyright: Paula Bosch

Wine Advocate

Score: 93

The 2009 Gewürztraminer is clear, elegant and aromatic on the finely flinty nose that is not overly tropical or floral but is fruity and intense yet in a noble, complex style and intermingled with crystalline/mineral notes. The wine is round and elegant on the palate, saline and crystalline and full of flavors, whereas the acidity is mild but crystalline and driven by the unnamed terroir. The finish is long and savory and always aromatic, round and juicy. This is an excellent, firm Gewürztraminer! 12% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Archive Release 2024. Tasted in January 2025.
