This is the Pinot Noir, which has completed its stage of bunch closure. The bunches and foliage are magnificent, promising, if all goes well, a fine harvest.
Opinion on Traminer 2019 by Vins-Confédérés
A very fine, distinctive nose with notes of rose, lychee and grapefruit. The palate is rich and full-bodied, fresh but not heavy, dry, well-balanced and dominated by finesse.
This Traminer is beautifully balanced. It has a very long finish.
