MORE INFORMATION:
One of the very few examples of a dry Gewürztraminer in South Africa. Brilliant straw colour with a slight green tint on the edge. The nose is perfumed, with good expression of spice, rose petals, Turkish delight and leechies. The palate follows through with floral flavours and a mélange of fruits, with good palate weight and lingering finish. An elegant, complex wine with good ageing potential.
To be enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to spicy foods, curries and sushi.
