TASTING NOTE
Floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle, ripe lemon, tangerine and grapefruit interplay with sweet, nutty complexity and delicate oak spice. The palate is wonderfully full and textural with concentrated lemon and stone fruit flavours, with fine oak tannin adding to the richness. Carefully balanced acidity drives a delicious flavour line and a long zesty finish.

WINEMAKING NOTES
This wine is a blend of 5 clones of Gewürztraminer each bringing their own distinct characteristics to this aromatic blend. Beautifully ripe fruit was harvested over several picks from late March through to early April. With minimal skin contact, the juice was pressed off, racked, and cool fermented in stainless steel tank using a variety of different yeasts to get the best out of the Gewürztraminer aromatics. Racked and aged on light lees for 4 months prior to blending and finishing.
