Tasted wine was Lind Gewürztraminer Trocken Spätlese with 100% of Gewürztraminer grape from Weingut Lind. (winegut = winery)
The wine growing estate Ökonomierat Lind is situated in the South of the wine growing area of the Palatinate, in the area known as the “Südliche Weinstraße” (the southern wine road). The eco-wine guide-lines of Weingut Lind go much further than the European guide-lines for bio- logical agriculture. Using the rare “sur lie” method ensures that wines remain on the fineyeast until bottling and through this absorb more minerals, vitamins and bioactive substances. This long “mother-child contact” and a biological reduction of the acidity guarantee that the wine is harmoniously and well-balanced.

I don’t drink, but that is my husband’s new favorite wine. He didn’t even like white wines before trying that one.
Thanks for comments and visiting blog. After rieslings gewurztraminer has more character.
