Product details
Description
Produced in the hilly vineyards of the Breede River Valley, this Gewürztraminer from Bergsig is born in a territory with a Mediterranean climate, characterized by strong temperature variations and harsh winters with snowfalls until late spring. The vineyards, located between 240 and 350 meters above sea level, enjoy a slow maturation that allows for excellent sugar development and perfect acidic balance.
The grapes, from a single vineyard and hand-selected, are cooled to 8°C for prolonged contact with the skins. The free-run juice ferments in steel tanks between 12 and 14°C, with fermentation stopped to maintain residual sugar, contributing to defining the aromatic and slightly sweet style of the wine.
On the nose, it stands out for its intense aroma of rose petals, enriched with notes of lychee and sweet spices reminiscent of Turkish lokum. The palate is fresh, fruity, and beautifully balanced, with a sweet finish that enhances the aromatic richness of the grape variety.
Perfect accompanying spicy dishes of Asian cuisine or blue cheeses.
