WRIGHTS GW GEWURZTRAMINER 2002

This style of wine is very complex and reflects the winemaker's influence. The Wrights GW Gewürztraminer has not been produced with animal by products or dairy products, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians to enjoy. The GW range of wines is the first in New Zealand to be fully certified vegetarian, through the New Zealand Vegetarian Society.

The Wrights GW Gewürztraminer is a classic dry wine, with the grapes coming from Manutuke, Gisborne. The organic growers were Colin and Anna Alder. The vineyard is very special to me as it has free ranging some of my chickens; Braveheart, Daisy and Pukeko.

The winemaker harvested 20% botrytis grapes to maximise the intense flavours in the wine, which is obtainable from Gewürztraminer, and in doing so gave the wine a golden straw colour.

The wine has a brilliant bouquet of exotic lychees, apricots, caramelised figs and honey. The wine has had some oak influence, developing extra depth within the palate and increasing the length of the wine.

Sorry this wine has sold out, you may find it in some outlets.
