Tasting Notes
Aroma
Rose petal, candied lime and ginger spice are immediately captivating. An undertone of minerality and darker cinnamon add a savoury complexity underneath whilst nectarine promises warmth and texture to follow.
Appearance
Light straw, green hue and brilliant clarity.
Palate
Persimmon, lime and lyches fruits spill onto the palate. There is a fleshiness to the wine that is held taught by the pithy acid line. Spicey ginger phenolics focus the palate, helping add structure and drive. The finish is fresh and zesty; full-flavoured acid and phenolics are enmeshed within the fruit. A very refreshing and lively palate.
Vinification
Hand harvested fruit was firmly whole bunch pressed to impart some skin contact to release the full flavour profile. A small parcel of the fruit was foot-stomped prior to pressing and impart some phenolic texture. The juice was naturally fermented in older French Hoggs Heads giving complexity to the natural floral notes of Gewurztraminer aromas. The purity of the grape flavours were retained, bottling the wine in October 2024.
Vintage Notes
A cool spring and mild summer led to small crops that ripened early. The Traminer was picked with full flavour and phenolic ripeness. Fruit was hand picked in small batches in pristine condition.
Food Matching
Beef Pho, Thai green curry, Steamed snapper with ginger and native herbs.
