Bright, even and full, light golden-yellow colour. The bouquet is full with a firm core of ripe
yellow stonefruits, root ginger, creaming soda and a musky, herbal and mineral
amalgam. Dry to taste and medium-bodied,
bold flavours of yellow stonefruits, tropical fruits and savoury musk and rose
florals show with breadth and mouthfilling openness. The fruit firm in texture and expression, and
dry in mouthfeel, the phenolic handling fine.
Some acidity and alcohol carry the flavours to a dry, steely finish with
some characteristic varietal bitterness.
This is a strong and open flavoured dry Gewurztraminer with a firm, but
open palate. Serve with Asian cuisine
and semi-hard cheeses over the next 3-4 years.
Fruit from 30 y.o. vines, fermented on skins 3 days to 13.0% alc., the
wine given some barrel aging. Certified
