Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
Vendanges Tardives is Alsace's late-harvest mention, and Eugène Schaller & Fils of Mittelwihr make this one from overripe, partly botrytised Gewurztraminer. It is a sweet, full-bodied white: lychee and rose petal with candied fruit, honey and exotic spice, on a rich, unctuous palate. Built to age, it gains honeyed, candied depth over a decade or more in bottle.
