“SGN” stands for “Selections de Grains Nobles” a term used in the French region of Alsace that literally means “the selection of noble berries” indicating hand harvesting of fully botrytised grapes. A wonderfully concentrated Gewurztraminer with classic Oriental spices, Turkish Delight and luscious honey flavours. A rare treat.
