A brilliantly dry Gewürztraminer, fragrant and refined, winning over even those who think they’re not fans of the varietal.
Vintage 2022+
A warm, dry season, extended by a long Indian summer, allowed slow ripening, producing intensely concentrated yet vibrant berries for an extraordinary wine.
Hans' Winemaking Comments+
The tiny vintage of pure luscious grapes was gently destemmed and left for a day on skin maceration to extract the superb flavours. Carefully pressed into a small stainless steel tank for a natural, wild fermentation. Left on its fine lees to mature and flourish for 24 months. Unfined (vegan) and only lightly filtered to retain all the goodness. No cold stabilization.
Tasting Notes+
Not sweet, but beautifully ripe, this dry Gewürztraminer is perfumed with lychees and rose petals. Floral and seductive, the aromas float above a silky texture, while rich palate depth and layered complexity lead to a balanced, elegant finish. Long, fresh and gently dry.
