Tiefenbrunner Tardus Gewurztraminer Late Harvest
Wine Description
The grapes are harvested in November when the ripe berries are already covered with the noble rot ‘Botrytis cinerea’ with the effect, that the juices and aromas within are naturally concentrated and intensified. After two months of fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is bottled and matures another two years in the bottle.
