Flying Sheep Gewurztraminer 2015

Flying Sheep Gewurztraminer 2015

Exotic is the best word I can imagine to describe the kind of gewürztraminer we’d like to make. Ginger, lychee, musk, and pear aromas delighting with their intensity and purity. Gewürztraminer is a slightly unpredictable vine to grow, with yields and seasonal ripening characteristics all over the place. Like Gisborne, we have a warmer climate than is needed to ripen so it’s picked quite early in the season. I believe that plays a big part in explaining the kind of complexity we can achieve. Yes, it’s floral, yes it exhibits cool-climate characteristics but we also achieve a balanced palate, rich texture with a refreshing rounded finish and a hint of minerality.
