Vineyard
Dry land vineyards with Hutton soils and trellised hedges. Average age of vineyards – 22 years.

Vinification
Gewürztraminer and Weisser Riesling grapes were handpicked in the cool morning hours at between 20.9 and 23.0 °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 of the two varieties were cold- fermented separately at 12 °C. The fermentation on the Weisser Riesling was stopped to retain natural grape sugars, whilst the Gewürztraminer was allowed to ferment dry. The wine was blended so as to balance flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Tasting notes
Semi-sweet blend of 60% Gewürztraminer and 40% Weisser Riesling. A delicate, fruit-laden wine expressing cultivar characteristics of its components – 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.
