Gustave Lorentz
The Lorentz family has been making wine since 1836 in the heart of the Alsace which lies in the northeast corner of France along the Rhine River. Charles Lorentz Sr. grandfather of the current president of Gustave Lorentz developed his vineyards on the hills of Altenberg de Bergheim in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains which has grown to 85 acres in this extraordinary terroir with four acres planted on the hills of the Grand Cru Kanzlerberg and 30 acres in the Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim.
Description
Pale yellow straw color. Perfumed, floral, inviting aromas of lush tropical flowers, overripe pineapple, fresh cilantro, and whipped cream with a round, crisp, off-dry body and a delightful, medium-length bruised pineapple, tuberose, caramelized passion fruit, and Chinese five spice finish with fine, fruit tannins and no oak. A delectable floral white with ample fruit.
Food Pairing
Fish in spicy sauces (ginger sauce, sea bass with fennel), smoked salmon, appreciated with sweet and sour dishes, ethnic spicy dishes.
