GEWÜRZTRAMINER: 2023

Award:
Double Gold - New Zealand International Wine Show
 
Single Vineyard - Hand Picked
 
Grown by our dear friends, Keven and Kerry Tilly, on the heavier soils of their Southern Valleys vineyard. An intensely aromatic variety with a hint of sweetness. Gewürztraminer is the variety that convinced Mum and Dad to plant a vineyard!
 
Sight: Bright gold.
Smell: Fresh lychee and rose water. Like walking through a flower garden.
Taste: Classic turkish delight, ginger and floral vibrance. Off dry and balanced with a splash of acidity.
 
Pairing: Gewürztraminer is always an ideal accompaniment to oriental cuisine, especially Thai & Indian dishes. Also try with pâté, smoked fish or blue cheese.
 
Cellaring: Drink now or will reward a further 10 years of cellaring.
 
RS: 11g/L / Alc: 14.5% / TA: 4.4g/L
