The 2005 Gewurztraminer Gamitzberg – vinified partly in used barriques, partly in fuder – is scented with celery seed, black pepper, caraway, and rose petal. Notably clear, pure, refined, and juicy for a wine from this variety, its richer side emerges on an imposingly glossy palate as nut oils and smoked meat. This fine-finishing, understated Gewurztraminer will no doubt hold well for at least 3-4 years. Alois Gross harvested his entire crop in less than three weeks during October.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
