    tasting notes
    This Gewürztraminer is typically aromatic with intense lychee character and floral - rose petal - undertones. It is rich and ripe with a soft off-dry finish ensuring good balance.
     
    ageing potential
    Best enjoyed chilled and young but can be matured for a couple of years from date of vintage.
     
    blend information
    100% Gewurztraminer
     
    about the harvest
    Pick optimally ripe with a small percentage of botrytis
     
    in the cellar
    Allow 8 hours of skin contact for maximum aroma extraction before pressing. Settle for 24 hours before a controlled cold fermentation. Stabilize and filter before bottling
