Gewürztraminer 2025 – Aromatic Cool Climate White
2025
Pale lemon yellow with a green hue. A complex festoon of intense florals fills the aroma, with lychee and a hint of musk stick adding perfume. Subtle notes of cinnamon and green melon add further lift. The palate is supple yet crunchy and dry, with talc and rose petal florals carried across very fine phenolics. Precise and linear, leading to a clean, elegant finish.
Trophy for Best Other White Variety or Blend, Orange Wine Show 2025
Handpicked on 12 March 2025 and whole bunch pressed to minimise phenolic extraction, the juice was settled for 48 hours before racking to fermentation. Fermentation was cool to preserve aromatic intensity, lasting approximately 14 days. Post fermentation, the wine remained on light yeast lees to build some soft mid-palate texture before minimal fining prior to bottling on 12 June 2025.
