Paul Zinck Gewurztraminer Prestige 2004

Tricky to pronounce but delicious to drink, Gewürztraminer is an unmistakable variety. Lychee and rose-petal scented, it's both weighty and mouthfilling, abounding with soft, ripe stone-fruit flavours.

And to savour the best you can do little better than to follow The Daily Mail's advice "Seek out smaller Alsace producers - Zinck is just one of those hidden talents".

Master craftsmen, the father and son duo balance their expertise in traditional methods with modern techniques. The vines are cultivated according to age-old tried and tested methods - sympathetically following the natural cycle of the season.

This, their great sensitivity and a state-of-the-art winery enable them to create this beguiling, hedonistic wine. A fine seam of lemon freshness counters the rich weight of fruit with a light, delicate touch. Complex and keenly priced.
