Gewürztraminer
Sanct Valentin

Gewürztraminer is certainly one of the most impressive and fascinating grape varieties in the world. Since 1986, it has been one of the flagships of this prestigious line with
its aromatic autochthonous grapes. The Gewürztraminer Sanct Valentin is characterised by its intense and complex bouquet as well as its intense fruit and spice notes on
the nose and on the palate. A pleasurable wine that still gives great drinking pleasure even after many years.
