Vineyards and Winemaking
-
The Ihumatao area of Auckland has a proud heritage of producing outstanding Gewürztraminer. The vineyard is located in a wind protected volcanic basin on the edge of the Manukau Harbour. Free draining soils and a unique soil profile lead to the production of a distinctive Gewurztraminer.
Even flowering and a warm summer provided perfect ripening conditions in 2017.
Classic white rose, lychee and potpourri flavours with a drop-dead gorgeous talcum powder texture. Very impressive wine with a wonderfully lingering finish. 95 points
