Description
"This wine is led by the heady and seductive fragrance and tannin of 62% Gewürztraminer wild fermented upon its skins in an open fermenter for ten days as if it was a red wine. Balanced by cool climate Pinot Gris traditionally fermented in stainless steel for four months maturation on fine lees before bottling un-fined and un-filtered. Treasured for its exhilarating exotic floral aromas, Gewurz is widely planted in Germany, Alsace, and Northern Italy, but we love it filed nicely back with fine and crisp Pinot Gris for texture, balance, and culinary complexity. A bone dry style, showing lychee, musk, and dried mandarin peel aromatics, hugely complex, and somehow drawing a line between fruit derived characters, and savoury wildness. A juicy, succulent palate, with spicy jackfruit flesh, framed by sandy and chalky tannins, brisk acid, and a long lingering palate." - Winemaker Notes
