WINEMAKING NOTES
Following harvest the grapes were transported to the winery
where they were cool-stored for 24 hours before gently crushing to the press
for overnight skin contact. Gentle pressing then released high quality free run juice rich in flavour. After
cold settling overnight the juice was
cool fermented in a stainless steel tank with a selected yeast strain retaining
the aromatic qualities of the grapes . The wine was stop fermented when the balance of residual sugar , acidity
and fruit expression was optimal. It then was fined, filtered and bottled early
preserving the fruit characters.
Light yellow gold in colour this wine shows typical Gewurztraminer
varietal characters with the nose showing an intense mix of lychee, rose petal and spice notes. The
palate is medium dry and richly textured, with pink grapefruit and rose petal
flavours building to the long finish.
