Description
This 2016 vintage displays the wonderful varietal characters of rose petals, lychee with delightful spice notes together with an off dry palate. As always our hallmark is depth of flavour, balance and great concentration.
This wine is predominantly from the Lawson's winery vineyard on Alabama Road with a small parcel from the nearby Woodward vineyard. The vines range in age between fourteen and thirty years and grow in soils with a high clay content, these factors combined with careful viticulture produce not only lovely aromatics but also great concentration. The 2016 growing season was long, warm and dry so we were able to harvest the grapes under ideal conditions,
The Lawson's Dry Hills approach to wine-making for their Gewürztraminer is fairly hands-off. The grapes were picked and gently pressed, with the pressings being separated and fermented (15% wild) in older French oak barriques. The free run juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks with a yeast strain originally from the Alsace. The result of these techniques will reward the paitent with cellaring potential of up to four years
Food Pairing: This vegan friendly wine is a great match with Asian flavours, we recommend drinking alongside lobster served with ginger or Thai red duck curry.
