Falconhead Hawke's Bay Gewürztraminer 2025

Description

Dry, Lychee, Spice

Seductive aromas of tropical fruits, exotic spices, 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. 

This wine has classic Gewurztraminer 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 entirely from our Campbell’s Brook vineyard in Hawke’s Bay. The grapes for this wine were machine harvested and transported to our Riverview winery, where they were pressed to stainless steel for fermentation with a specific Alsace-style yeast. An off-dry style was achieved by stopping the fermentation with a little sugar remaining. No oak ageing or malolactic fermentation was employed for this wine. The wine was transported to our Katikati winery where finishing was carried out. The wine was bottled in October 2021.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with Asian-inspired meals.
