This opulent Gewurztraminer offers intense aromas of Turkish delight, lavender and tangerine. Full bodied and complex the palate is unravelled with lychee, tropical fruits, ginger, rose petal and a touch of brioche.

"Boasting classic rose petal, frangipane and gingerbread aromas which quickly morph into generously dry, rich, roasted peachy flavours in the mouth. Luscious, lengthy and loaded with personality and charm, winemaker Paul Dawick has done a delicious job with a wine produced only in special years."
Yvonne Lorkin
Fragrant, very aromatic, scents of exotic fruits and spice-trail, flowers and apricots, apples and wet stone minerality. Plush, ripe and creamy with a silky texture contrasted by acidity and mouthfeel. Delicious, fresh, dry on the finish and nicely complex. An excellent food wine with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028. Fantastic value.
93 Points, Excellent.

"Rich and oily with orange zest, spice and aromas of Cointreau. The nose is robust and perfumed, much like the palate which has both weight and power in spades. The fruity palate with green pear and lychee has an intensity which lingers all the way to the end of an impressively lengthy finish."

The 2023-2024 growing season was perfect, with below average rainfall and above average temperatures. The grapes for this outstanding wine were grown off our prestigious Hawkes Bay vineyard, situated in the Bridge Pa sub region, sunbathed in full afternoon sunshine. Grapes were harvested in optimal condition and flavour on March 8, 2024.
At the winery the grapes were gently pressed and the juice left to settle overnight, before a small portion was transferred to season barrels for fermentation with a selected Alsatian yeast.
A slow cool controlled ferment, to preserve the aromas, was followed about short lees contact to enhance the palate weight and mouthfeel. Once racked from barrel and left to settle, the wine was gently filtered. This stunningly luscious wine was bottled on August 27th, 2024, under screwcap.
