Hunter's Marlborough Gewürztraminer 2020
- Off-dry style
- Pear & lychee
- Turkish delight
- Lingering finish
The 2020 Hunter's Gewürztraminer features delicate aromas of pear and lychee characters on the nose. Turkish delight and rose petal notes fill the front palate and finish with some spice to balance, with a refreshing, off dry styled acidity. Enjoy now or be rewarded with careful cellaring for the next 8 years.
The 2020 growing season was one to remember for the amazing weather conditions in Marlborough. During Summer and Autum we had warm and dry conditions throughout, allowing for clean fruit and an early start to the vintage. These conditions resulted in grapes that was picked with good natural acidity relative to their sugar and flavour ripeness. 2020 will prove to be an exceptional vintage.
This is a single vineyard wine made with fruit from our Rapaura Road vineyard, next to the winery. The vines were planted in 1995 and while the planting plan is long since lost, we believe there are up to seven different clones and rootstock combinations in the vineyard. The fruit was machine harvested in two passes. The picks were fermented separately and then blended back together. The early pick lends acidity to the wine and also a strong ginger flavour. The later pick has more classic Gewurztraminer characters – lychee and lemongrass.
