Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The typical Gewurztraminer aromas of roses and baking spices and flavours of lychee and mango fit nicely with the citrus, stone fruit, green apple and minerality of the Riesling. The refreshing sharpness of the Riesling is mellowed by the softness of Gewurztraminer making a heavenly match.
Winemaker Notes
The Gewurztraminer grapes ripened first (the early part of October) and the Riesling grapes were pricked later, near the end of October, with higher acidity and a sweetness of 19 to 21 Brix. The two varieties are separately crushed, pressed and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, and the final blend is made shortly before bottling.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with spicy dishes such as Thai curries, Indian cuisine or Szechuan stir fry. The touch of sweetness in the wine will help balance the spice heat and complex seasoning of the dishes. Or pair with savory white meat dishes such as glazed pork tenderloin where the fruit notes of the wine harmonize with the glazed notes of the dish and the acidity in the wine balances the savory notes of the meat.
