Viticulture & Vinification
The grapes for this wine come from our Godfrey Road vineyard. The stony, alluvial soils of the vineyard are ideal for producing low-yielding, full flavoured grapes. The grapes were handpicked and gently taken through the winemaking process which included whole bunch cluster pressing and a portion of the grapes fermented in seasoned French oak barrels with wild yeasts from the vineyard and occasional lees stirring.
Description
This is a dry fruity Gewürztraminer with richness, concentration and balance. Big yet soft mouth-feel is complemented by a clean, crisp finish. This is a luscious wine with hints of rose petal, passionfruit and lychee.
This wine suits dishes with aromatic flavours and spices including Japanese, Chinese, Thai and Indian cuisine. It is a perfect accompaniment for platter of fresh and dried fruit and cheese.
