Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"This wine is a blend of two standout Gewürztraminer clones, 457 (76%) and 456 (24%). A very low yielding crop of delicious fruit was harvested in early April 2024. With minimal skin contact the juice was pressed off to tank, racked and the two clones co-fermented with a combination of different yeasts to get the best out of the Gewürztraminer aromatics. Ferment was stopped once optimal balance had been achieved, leaving the wine with medium dry sweetness. Post ferment the wine was aged on lees for 4 months before finishing.

Wonderfully aromatic and scented with tangerine peel, spiced pear, tropical fruit notes, honey suckle and jasmine florals. The palate is finely textured with broad, juicy concentrated flavours of sweet lemon, candied ginger and a delicious, spiced richness that carries right through to the finish."

5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and perfumed, the bouquet shows mango, lychee, pineapple, and Turkish Delight aromas with a lovely spicy overtone. The concentrated palate delivers outstanding weight and opulence, superbly complemented by plush texture and fine acidity, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2030."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, February 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Rather fantastic bouquet with myriad exotic fruits, apple and apricot, flowers and kitchen spices. Core fruit flavours reflect the bouquet framed by fruit spices and phenolics that tickle the back palate. A lovely silky touch too with a generous length and intensity. Best from day of purchase through 2029."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, May 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, medium yellow. The nose is full, with aromas of ripe pear, lychee, rose water, Turkish delight and a touch of fresh ginger. Medium-full bodied, off-dry to taste, aromas of Nashi pear and lychee entwined with well-proportioned rose water, Turkish delight and fresh ginger root. Beautiful ripeness balances with lively acidity, adorned by elegant and well-portioned floral fragrance and spice, lending a clean, long linger. A well-made Gewurztraminer exhibits elegance and purity. Match with Tandoori chicken and ripe brie over the next 5+ years."
