Description

Mango, persimmon, lychee and marmalade produce a wonderfully complex nose. The palate is rich and round with great fruit concentration and intensity. This wine is medium in style and the sweetness is perfectly balanced by gentle acidity. Combined, these characters produce a complex, balanced and most importantly, delicious wine.

Vineyard

This Gewurztraminer is from the company’s original vineyard, planted in 1982, that surrounds the winery. These unirrigated vines are deeply rooted in clay soils which help to give the wine intensity, weight and body, resulting in a rich, mouth-coating texture.

Vinification

These grapes were harvested in perfected condition during a wonderfully warm harvest. They were gently crushed and then pressed to French barriques and allowed to undergo spontaneous fermentation with yeasts that were naturally present. The wine was left to rest on lees for several months before bottling here at the winery later in the year.
