Vineyard
Dry land vineyards with Hutton soils and trellised hedges. Average age of vineyards – 21 years.

Vinification
Gewürztraminer grapes were handpicked in the cool morning hours at 22.1°Balling. After harvest, the grapes were cooled overnight to 10 ºC prior to vinification. The grapes were sorted, de-stemmed, crushed, pressed and allowed to cold settle for two days. The juice was cold- fermented at 12 °C. A portion of the Gewürztraminer was stopped to retain natural grape sugars, whilst the remainder was allowed to ferment dry. The wine was blended so as to balance flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Tasting notes
Semi-sweet wine containing 100% Gewürztraminer. A delicate, fruit-laden wine expressing typical cultivar characteristics – leechie, rose petal and perfumed flavours, layered with a hint of spice. Refreshing on its own, this wine will make the ideal partner to spicy dishes.
