Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Musky floral aromas of rose petals with ripe fruits of red grapefruit and lychee complemented with notes of ginger. The palate is off-dry with ripe fruit flavours, rich texture and a long lingering finish.
The grapes for this wine were grown in our Omaka Valley Vineyard in Marlborough. Moderate yields, and an amazing Indian Summer over harvest made for a happy winemaking team and some outstanding flavour in our Gewurztraminer fruit. We harvested the fruit at night in cool temperatures to preserve the wonderful flavours and aromatics. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics. Four months on lees post fermentation, built texture and complexity."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit June 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Varietally pure and instantly appealing, the wine shows mango, rockmelon, pineapple and white floral aromas on the nose with a hint of ginger spice. It's equally charming in the mouth with vibrant fruit intensity with a hint of sweetness, backed by juicy acidity, making it refreshing and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2028."
