2022 Vintage

?Beautifully complex aromas of rose petal, spice, rosemary and grilled citrus, this off-dry wine has notes of pink grapefruit and orange peel with a gentle elegant finish.? Olly Masters (Winemaker)

Vintage Notes

Warm temperatures at the start of the season, without the usual buffeting spring winds, resulted in rapid growth, aided by the moist ground from a wet winter. The warmth continued to flowering at the end of November before a cool front slowed growth but it was a good fruit set. January was hot and dry with a few consecutive days over 30?C. Conditions stayed warm for the rest of the season and harvest started at the end of March and continued over the next month. This was a dream season in terms of fruit quality and vine health with yields above the long-term average, and with an even berry size aiding flavour consistency and
varietal expression. This season will be remembered as one of the best. This Gew?rztraminer was hand-picked at an average yield of 5.3 T/ha. Growing Degree Days (GDDs) were 1152

Food Match

Gew?rztraminer is an extremely food-friendly wine that?s perfect with spicy food (Thai, Indian, and Mexican) as well as rich German-style schnitzel and sausages. It is also a particularly good match with pungent and soft cheeses, (oily) wild game, foie gras, and smoked salmon.
