Falconhead Hawke's Bay Gewürztraminer 2022

Description

Dry, Lychee, Spice

Seductive aromas of tropical fruits, exotic spice, and orange peel. The palate displays ripe citrus and lychee flavours with balanced sweetness and a satin texture. This wine is drinking well now but can be cellared for up to 5 years.

The grapes for this wine came entirely from our Campbell’s Brook vineyard in the Hawke’s Bay.

The grapes were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery where the juice was pressed to stainless steel tanks before being transported to our Katikati winery for fermentation. The yeast used was primarily 58W3 and 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 stabilised, fined then filtered and bottled in August 2022.
