Eppan Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Passito DOC Comtess

The St. Valentin-Comtess' is an especially rare speciality of the winery. A dessert wine of irresistible type, complexity and finesse. After a late harvest (mid-November) Gewu?rztraminer grapes are mixed with those of Riesling, Sauvignon and Pinot Bianco and left to dry in wooden crates for several weeks, then transferred to a steel casket for maturation. Comtess’ is characterised by a multifaceted bouquet with aromas reminiscent of roses, cinamon and nutmeg. The young, fresh fragrances intensify in their complexity when correctly matured in the bottle, gradually assuming discrete hinter of honey. An elegantly tasteful dessert wine with a full-bodied, fresh acidity which pairs harmoniously with the matching residual sweetness. It unleashes on the palate a delicate symphony of impressions and experiences, which leave behind a lasting effect. A wine with a future, which can be left to mature at the winery for several years without further ado.
