Falconhead Hawke's Bay Gewürztraminer 2021

Description

• Off-dry style
• Rosewater
• Lychee
• Gentle acidity

This wine has classic Gewürztraminer aromas of rosewater, lychees, and pear with a cinnamon spice. The palate is off dry, with gentle acidity and a long, delicious lychee finish.

The grapes for this wine came from three of their Hawke’s Bay vineyards – Campbells Brook, Kinross and Tantallon.

The grapes for this wine were machine harvested and transported to their Riverview winery where they were pressed to stainless steel for fermentation. Yeast used was primarily 58W3. An off dry style was achieved by stopping the fermentation with a little sugar remaining. No oak aging or malolactic fermentation was employed for this wine. The wine was tankered to their Katikati winery where finishing was carried out. The wine was bottled in October 2021.
