This 2024 Bespoke Label Gewürztraminer is a tribute to the art of winemaking, handpicked from just 2,431 vines that breathe life into this exceptional wine. Each vine, a commitment to excellence, represents the versatile character of the 456 and 457 clones. Grown in the sunlit Wairau Valley at The Pauls Road Vineyard, 82% of this wine captures the essence of fertile soils and gentle breezes. The remaining 18% hails from the pristine Southern Valley's Riverstone Vineyard, adding depth and complexity. This fruit was handpicked back-to-back on March 21st and combined in the press where the destemmed fruit was held for close to 24 hours prior to pressing to extract greater flavour and mouthfeel. Only 2,688 bottles have been crafted under this exclusive bespoke label for your enjoyment.
【Tasting Notes】
Colour / Appearance: Medium lemon with a bright clarity.
Aroma / Bouquet: Lifted varietal aromas of rose petal, Turkish delight, orange blossom and a subtle spice note.
Palate: Lush palate with flavours of Turkish delight, ginger, cardamom and ripe citrus. This medium-bodied wine has balanced sweetness with a long, cleansing finish.
Cellaring: We recommend enjoying our 2024 Gewurztraminer while it is young and fresh, but the wine can develop nicely beyond 5-7 years if carefully cellared.
Food Match: Enjoy with aromatically spiced dishes, or sweet desserts.
