Wine Description
This 2019 Gewurztraminer presents a golden straw hue with luminous clarity. On the nose, it exudes rich and exotic aromas of lychee, rose petal, candied ginger, and ripe mango. The palate is opulent yet balanced, with flavours of spiced pear, orange blossom, and honeyed citrus layered atop a vibrant mineral backbone. Medium to full-bodied, the wine unfolds with a lush texture and finishes long with a touch of sweet spice and freshness.
