Winemakers notes Very ripe hand picked Gewurztraminer grapes were destemmed and crushed into a bag press for pressing. The juice was left to cold settle for two days then racked, lees filtered and inoculated with yeast. The juice was tank fermented at 14degeesC. The resulting wine was then racked and sulphured. The wine was lightly fined, cold and protein stabilised prior to sterile filtration and bottling in August 2004

Wine description Delicate floral tones on the nose that become deliciously rounded flavours of rose petals and Turkish-delight in the mouth. Good mouth feel lingers into a long finish of taste and well balanced acidity. Awards Not shown
