This is a truly yummy Gewürztraminer. Very aromatic, flavourful and refreshing, it has aromas of tropical fruit, green apple, pear, citrus, and lychee.

Stainless steel fermented, it’s crisp with a nice, balanced acidity. It’s light-medium bodied and dry, but with a faint residual sweetness in the mouth.

Lemony gold in colour, it’s flavours echo it’s aromas, adding a bit of spice to the palette, with a crisp citrusy floral finish. It’s fresh, aromatic and just plain yummy.

Cheers!
