Description

Vinden Wines Skin Contact Gewurztraminer 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: This Gewürztraminer was sourced from their Somerset Vineyard. This dry grown block was planted in 2004 on red volcanic clay soil, over weathered limestone.

Taste Profile: A beautiful floral wine with savoury, dry phenolic grip. Textural, intensely aromatic and something a little different from this historic region

The wine was fermented on sknins for 2 two weeks prior to being aged in large concrete tanks for 5 months.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
