Overview
Askerne Late Harvest Gewürztraminer 2019 is a beautifully decadent dessert wine, grown on the stony, sandy terraces of Askerne Vineyard. Hand-harvested on 16 May 2019, the grapes were selectively chosen for moderate botrytis infection, which enhances the concentration of flavours. The wine was fermented with inoculated yeasts in stainless steel tanks after a 24-hour skin soak, allowing the unique character of the variety to shine through. This wine’s natural richness and complexity offer great potential for aging, making it an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
The nose of Askerne Late Harvest Gewürztraminer 2019 is an inviting bouquet of honey and apricot, intermingling with delicate notes of quince and ripe orange. Subtle spice nuances of vanilla and burnt caramel add depth and intrigue to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is plush and viscous, a result of the botrytis and retained grape sugars, offering a lush mouthfeel. With wonderfully concentrated flavours and a luxurious finish, this late harvest wine is a true indulgence. Its richness and structure make it a perfect choice for aging, allowing the complexity to evolve over time.
