GEWURZTRAMINER

FROM ALSACE TO LANGUEDOC

You may know it as the iconic variety of the Alsace wine region, but did you know that this grape has more than one trick up its sleeve? Gewurztraminer, whose name comes from the German word « gewurz » meaning « spicy » combined with « Tramin », a town in Italy, has today established itself around the world. In both warm and cool climates, under the Australian sunshine and in the sun-baked soils of the Languedoc, Gewurztraminer can be found in endless variations, adapting effortlessly, but never losing its fabulous aromatic intensity.

PRESERVING THE AROMAS

It is precisely these organoleptic qualities that Roche Mazet has decided to bring to the forefrunt through a pure expression of this unique grape variety. Carefully selected, the fruit comes from the coolest areas of the Pays d’Oc. Enchanting aromas of rose, lychee, and citrus result from a perfectly controlled fermentation. As for its richness and texture - these qualities are highlighted by aging the wine on fine lees for several months.

A DELICATE BALANCE

The pale golden hue and subtle green reflections of our Roche Mazet Gewurztraminer holds many secrets. The aromatic profile includes lovely floral notes, exotic fruits, and hints of lemon and grapefruit. This complexity carries through to the palate, supported by a superb balance between sweetness and acidity. Its round and fruity finish will leave an unforgettable impression.
