Description

Product description for Nikolaihof semicolon ; Gewürztraminer 2020 (bio)

Wine Information

In the context of semicolon, Katharina Salzgeber and Nikolaus Saahs explore the potential of Gewürztraminer and Riesling. How does the grape variety react when a different approach is chosen regarding harvest time, processing, and aging? Like the semicolon, which is not subject to any grammatical rules in terms of use and interpretation, but rather appeals to the esprit of both the writer and the reader, the wines shed the corset (of the familiar) and encourage the drinker to mature and taste.

Maturation Information

100% must; eight months of aging in used oak without fining, stabilization, filtration, or added sulfur.

Colour

Cloudy orange with amber reflections.

Nose

The nose reveals an intense Gewürztraminer with earthy, stony, and smoky notes. Dried grasses, rose petals, green pepper notes, and orange peel present themselves with pronounced intensity and freshness. Its aroma is underscored by a yeasty, spicy character and a puristic depth that makes you want to sink into it.

Palate

Precise and dry, the 2020 Gewürztraminer Semicolon challenges the palate; its fine tannins and the spiciness characterized by citrus and apple peel make it a fantastic accompaniment to creative cuisine with many influences of herbs and spices. An extremely lively representative of its style, it represents a wine style characterized by vibrancy, freshness, and depth.
