2008 Cloudy Bay Marlborough Gewurztraminer

Grapes were sourced from estate vineyards at Rapaura and in the Brancott Valley. All vines are pruned to ensure low yields and the fruit was hand picked and whole bunch pressed and racked into very old French oak barrels. Fermentation was allowed to proceed naturally with indigenous yeast and upon completion the wine was left in contact with yeast lees for a few months. "Aromas of dried pear and citrus peel intertwine with hazelnuts and white chocolate to add depth to this wineys exotic musky fragrance. The Cloudy Bay Gewurztraminer has a voluptuous palate with a cryme caramel richness, beautifully counterbalanced by a chalky minerality, finishing with impressive length and concentration."
