Brand: Paul Cluver
SKU: 17228

When we harvested the grapes, the aroma of crushed litchi and litchi juice filled the winery. This is one of our most expressive Gewurztraminerâ€™s to date. It is bursting with flavours of Rose water Turkish delight and litchi. The palate is rich, lingering with hints of spice. A truly great and balanced wine.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested early in the morning in the second week of February at 22Â° B. The average yield was 5 tons/ha.

The grapes were then fed by gravity into a pneumatic press. After pressing the juice were settled with pectic enzyme and then transferred under an inert blanket of nitrogen gas and inoculated with yeast. The fermentation was controlled between 12Â° and 15Âº C to ensure an even but also a slow fermentation. Fermentation was stopped at the desired sugar level and there after the wine was racked and stabilized with bentonite and bottled.
