FRUIT SELECTION

Grapes for 2024 F-Series Gewurztraminer were harvested from organically grown vines at the back of the winery.  Soils here are of the old riverbed type; fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feltspar), mixed alluvial gravel and silt.  We are aiming for an unctuous "Alsatian" style of Gewurztraminer, so the fruit is picked at very ripe levels but prior to any significant botrytis infection on this occasion.

WINEMAKING

Hand-picked grapes were de-stemmed and left in contact with their skins for about 12 hours before being pressed.  The resulting juice was briefly settled without sulphur dioxide or enzymes before being transferred to acacia and French oak puncheons.  The juice was left to ferment spontaneously after which the wine sat on full ferment lees for 9 months before blending in January 2024.

Absolutely delicious

This is now my favourite NZ Gewurztraminer. ( I loved Vinoptima until they closed down ) . I've always enjoyed Alsace style Gewurztraminers and this wine is a superb example of this style. Absolutely delicious. Not the cheapest of wines but totally worth it

Simply the best

This luscious and intense wine has all the flavours to be found in a top gewurztraminer. It has a refined texture that cleans the palate and great length. Absolutely superb - another case please.
