TASTING NOTES

2018 was a great year for Gewurztraminer at Askerne. With perfumed notes of lychee, rose petal, Turkish delight, orange peel and citrus fruits, this wine gives way to a full-bodied, balanced, lingering finish. Pair with a range of Asian cuisines, platters or just enjoy it with good friends as an aperitif.
