Identity
The "Rayon de Lune" cuvée is inspired by the story of the villagers of Bennwihr, nicknamed the "Moon Hunters" (Mondfanger). These men and women have always known how to stand firm with determination, solidarity and... originality, even in the face of the trials of history. The Moon is a key element of this vintage presented in exclusive blue bottles, a blue similar to the color of the sky lit by Moonbeams.
Winemaking
Whole grape pressing. Strict settling to ensure clear juices. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats, followed by aging on fine lees for more than 6 months.
Eye
Yellow with golden highlights.
Nose
Spicy notes and a beautiful richness of exotic fruits (mango, lychee).
Palate
Aromatic richness, delicate and fruity roundness. Aromas of mango and pineapple with a hint of rose.
What to drink with the Gewurztraminer Rayon de Lune?
It is perfect to accompany Asian cuisine, strong cheeses (Munster, Roquefort, etc.), foie gras and desserts such as clafoutis and Yule logs, or even as an aperitif.
