Zlati Gric Traminer 2018 12.5% This is technically sweet Gewurztraminer with 18 grams of residual sugar, but in fact is perceptibly much drier than that with its marvelous acid balance. Leads with pronounced, pure lychee fruit aromas, these flavors carry on through fine texture, cut through with a slash of acidity. It’s spotlessly clean and crisp on the finish.  They also make a more traditional style with 9gms rs, with lower 12% and natural yeast at higher fermentation temperatures. A more oxidative, like what people in the region drank for the last 30 years or so. Tourists try it and buy more modern styles. But it's noble of him to preserve the local traditional styles until we invasive tourists catch on to ‘less trend driven’ styles that have stood the test of time.
