Lot 178 comes from the old vines located next to the winery. WE acquired this vineyard 10 years ago after doing a few exchanges with neighbouring winegrowers. It is so old that nobody really knows when it was planted. I can say that it regularly produces some of our best grapes in the Herrenweg. In 2006, the botrytis was excellent, and compared to the other two Herrenwegs, the fermentation was the slowest, keeping a little bit more sweetness on the palate.Tasting Notes 1/2008: The nose is classic aromatic Gewurztraminer, with all the rose, geranium spicy flavours, combined with a welcoming austerity that stops it from being heavy. The palate is harmonious, perhaps a little less pungent and ry than lot 178. This is beautiful Gewurztraminer, but already a powerful style. It will need flavourful dishes to match this one!Bottling Date: 7/2007
