2015 Terrace View Gewurztraminer
Winemakers Notes
This varietal is a mouthful to pronounce—and a mouthful to enjoy! Terrace View prides itself on crafting a dry Gewürztraminer that showcases the natural characters of the grape, including flavors of lychees and aromatics of rose petals. We have incorporated lees (residual yeast) contact in the winemaking process to add creaminess, weight, and depth to the palate.
Colour
Bright straw with green and gold tones.
Bouquet
Distinctive lychee and ginger characters combine with floral notes.
Palate
Lush, spicy characters overlay a rich guava and floral background. The wine is dry and will contribute to many fine cuisine styles including pungent Pacific Rim cuisine.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now or over the next 18 months.
Composition
100% Gewurztraminer
Oenological Treatment
The wine was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to emphasise its fruit characters. The wine was then given extended lees (residual yeast) contact to increase complexity.
