Gewürztraminer

For over 150 years Pewsey Vale Vineyard has produced aromatic white wines of exceptional style, varietal flavour and consistency. A reputation for success with these wines and a location high in Eden Valley inspired the planting of Gewürztraminer. Pewsey Vale Gewürztraminer captures the essence of our cool climate vineyard with delightful fragrance and a long pristine palate. Winemaking is simple and natural with hand picked grapes whole bunch pressed directly to older oak barrels for fermentation by indigenous yeasts. The wine stayed in barrels for nearly 3 months with regular batonnage before blending. With a slight spicy cinnamon rose water fragrance on the nose the flavours of this wine are full of exotic perfumed rose petals. The palate is fine but unexpectedly textured, finishing long and fresh. The 2008 Gewürztraminer should cellar well for the medium to long term - up to ten years.
