Lawson's Dry Hills Gewürztraminer 2018
Description
A New Zealand classic - Turkish Delight and floral perfumed notes give a pronounced and authentic aroma to this wine. The palate is weighty, off-dry in style with a thread of citrus that underscores the plentiful exotic fruit characters.

Vineyard
95% from our Home Block around the winery, planted in 1981, with the balance from the Woodward block located a few hundred metres down the road.
Vinification
Picking when the flavour is optimal is key for this variety and we made several picks across the vineyard to ensure each parcel was perfect. The grapes were gently pressed with the free run juice straight to tank and the pressings to barrel. Post-fermentation these were carefully blended to give a wine with rich aromatics, flavour and texture yet with harmony and balance.
