Â
This wine has intense aromas of Gewurztraminer (Gew); rose water, Turkish delight and hints of orange blossom from the skin contact fermentation.
These aromas and flavours are supported by interesting peppery, earthy and chalky nuances due to the stems in the fermentation.
The palate is rich and full with mouth coating tannins (extracted from both the stems and skins) giving a salivating texture balancing the gorgeous forward fruit typical of Gewurztraminer.
This wine is incredibly drinkable and an excellent food match as the tannins will cut the richness of most dishes and give lasting pleasure in the glass.

Theyâre not interested in necessarily fitting neatly inside your âRiesling boxâ, and they donât understand the new world obsession with dryness at any cost. Instead they're on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of balance, texture and the expression of the vineyard.
