Delatite Gewürztraminer Deadman’s Hill 2024

Gewurztraminer has long been a specialty from this team. The vines used here range between 12 and 53 years in age and are growing biodynamically. Whole bunch pressing is used as is wild yeast for fermentation. 15% of the wine is fermented in old oak puncheons and then given a further eight months maturation before blending. Gleaming lemon in colour, this is a beautiful example of a more moderate style of Gewürztraminer. It has all the lychees, musk, florals, citrus, lavender and Turkish Delight one could wish, but it is restrained, balanced and does not fall into the trap, like many from this grape, of being over the top. The flavours explode on the palate and there is a line of bright acidity. The wine is fresh and of medium length and should provide delicious drinking over the next two to four years.
