Domaine Bernard Scherb et Fils, Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 50cl, 2018

Domaine Bernard Scherb et Fils Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 2018 is a richly concentrated Alsace dessert wine made from late-harvest Gewürztraminer grapes. Crafted in the traditional Vendanges Tardives style, it delivers expressive aromatics, layered sweetness, and the hallmark intensity that has made this category one of the most celebrated in the region.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, this wine opens with an intensely fragrant nose of rose petals, lychee, ripe stone fruit, exotic spice, and a hint of perfume-like floral sweetness. On the palate, it is luscious and opulent, balancing concentrated sugar with Gewürztraminer’s natural spice and aromatic lift, finishing long, smooth, and persistent. Its generous structure and sweetness give it strong ageing potential, where the fruit may deepen into more honeyed, marmalade-like nuances over time while retaining its floral core.

Production
Vendanges Tardives means late harvest, and the grapes are left on the vine well beyond normal picking time so they naturally begin to concentrate and partially dry, developing greater sugar and flavour intensity. Harvesting is typically done in multiple passes through the vineyard to select only the perfectly ripe bunches. In Alsace, the region’s cool climate and varied slopes help preserve freshness while allowing Gewürztraminer to reach remarkable aromatic ripeness.

Food & Serving
Best served slightly chilled at around 8–10°C. This wine pairs beautifully with powerful blue cheeses, foie gras terrine, fruit-based desserts, or richly spiced pastries, where its sweetness and aromatics can balance salt, fat, and intensity. Decanting is generally not necessary, but a short aeration can help open the bouquet in younger bottles.

Producer
Domaine Bernard Scherb et Fils is a family producer from Alsace, a region internationally respected for its aromatic white wines and distinctive late-harvest styles. The domaine works within one of France’s most characterful wine traditions, where grapes like Gewürztraminer excel in creating expressive, age-worthy wines. Its Vendanges Tardives bottlings reflect both regional heritage and the careful, selective harvesting that defines the category.
