Release Notes:
Bruderbach is named after the vineyard in which the grapes were grown. It used to be part of a monastery - hence the name, which is German for "brother's brook." This is one of Etienne Loew's best wines, taking full advantage of his degree in oenology.
Tasting Notes:
Deep golden color. A delightfully fresh nose of apples, pears, peaches and citrus with honey and floral notes precedes a rich, round and soft palate with good concentration of citrus and white fruit flavors. The wine ends with a fresh finish with a hint of sweetness and pepper spice. The blend of finesse and complexity makes this an ideal wine for spicy cuisine (Thai, Mexican, Indian), foie gras, Roquefort, and even fresh fruit. Capable of aging for 2 to 4 more years.
