The Gewürztraminer Fuchslahn 2021 by Klaus Lentsch presents itself with an intense golden color. On the nose, it reveals explosive aromas of rose, litchi and exotic spices, accompanied by nuances of honey and candied citrus fruits. In the mouth it is enveloping and full, with a controlled sweetness that perfectly balances its lively acidity, offering a long and persistent finish.

Klaus Lentsch's Gewürztraminer Fuchslahn 2021 is a rich, aromatic wine that pairs beautifully with spicy, intense dishes. Its aromatic profile makes it a perfect accompaniment for blue cheeses, such as sweet Gorgonzola, or Asian dishes seasoned with curry or ginger. It is also ideal for dishes based on tasty white meats or vegetarian dishes rich in intense flavours.

The production of Gewürztraminer Fuchslahn 2021 begins with a careful harvest, the result of a year of hard work in the vineyard. The grapes are carefully destemmed and subjected to cold maceration, followed by delicate pressing. The must obtained is brought to a temperature of around 17°C to start fermentation. After about two weeks, the wine is decanted to eliminate coarse lees. Subsequently, the young wine matures in steel barrels for several months, with frequent stirring of the fine lees to improve complexity and structure. The process ends with bottling around June of the following year, and the wine is then put on sale in September.
