Spy Valley Single Estate Marlborough Gewürztraminer 2021

Description

• Off-dry style
• Lychee & ginger
• Rosewater
• Bright finish

Lychee, mango and ginger. Rosewater overlying floral notes dominate the soft texture through the midpalate. The wine finishes with a brightness and persistence of flavour.

Harvest 2021 was one out of the box – a winemaker’s dream. Impeccable weather throughout the ripening period led to beautiful disease-free fruit and, combined with warm days and cool nights the resulting flavours and acidity are well balanced. Cooler weather during flowering and a couple of visits from “Jack Frost” led to smaller bunches and lighter crops.

Our Gewurtztraminer blocks were harvested over 2 days with skin contact and fermented in stainless steel. The wines were aged on lees prior to blending before bottling in January of the following year.
