Tasting Notes

Pale gold

Luscious, enveloping aromas of lychees crushed rose petals and Turkish delight

The wine is medium bodied and has a soft round texture on the palate. Elegant and restrained, the palate gives flavours of pears and lychees, complemented by a hint of the Turkish delight aroma.

Perfect for drinking immediately, this Gewurztraminer will continue to reward for the next 2 to 3 years

Sourced from Cape Campbell’s own vineyard in the Marlborough sub region of Blind River. This low cropping vineyard is immaculately tended by Daphne Brown to yield fruit with intense varietal characters. The grapes were carefully monitored during ripening before being harvested at optimum maturity in cool conditions. After harvest, the fruit was transported to the winery with haste for immediate pressing with the minimum of skin contact. Settled juice was fermented with specifically selected aromatic yeast. After fermentation the wine was carefully balanced and prepared for bottling under screwcap.
