Product description for Odinstal Gewürztraminer 350 N.N. 2023 (bio)

Info

The Gewürztraminer near Odinstal grows on basalt at an altitude of 350 m. The vines were planted there in 2004. The grapes were harvested here from September 14th to 16th, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. A full 80% was processed and pressed in whole bunches. The remaining fifth was also fermented on the skins. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place consecutively in steel tanks. The results speak for themselves. The sulphur content was adjusted to a low 28 mg/l.

Colour

Strikingly bright straw yellow with delicate green inclusions.

Nose

The Gewürztraminer 350 NN has such a wonderfully subtle aroma that you first carefully examine the bottle to make sure you haven’t sold the wrong thing. Its herbal freshness and intensity are so groundbreaking and pioneering. But if you seek, you will find. And so, here too, the blossom of roses and rose water can be delicately discerned in the background. Paired with abundant floral yet very delicate elegance. Much more clearly, however, it is characterized by its reduction. This allows it to linger somewhat in its mystery. Hints of light and yellow stone fruit at all imaginable stages of ripeness can be detected. Herbs of local provenance appear both dried and freshly cut. A very inviting glass of wine stands before me.

Palate

A typical Odinstal wine. An atypical Gewürztraminer. With low alcohol and high acidity, we are a far cry from Alsace or South Tyrol. An honest wine full of character and origin. It practically makes your mouth water. Its acidity is unusually high and offers crisp moments. This leads to great drinking animation and plenty of finesse. On the palate, there’s relatively little fruit aside from freshly sliced Nashi pear. The herbal freshness is all the more pleasant and invigorating. And yes, the fragrant, charming character of the grape variety can be detected at the end, but only in the most subtle way.
