Pegasus Bay
Gewürztraminer 2024 750ml

It has an alluring light golden hue.  The bouquet leaps from the glass, a volley of ginger, cinnamon, lychee and lavender at first, soon opening to reveal more intricate mineral and earthy notes, underlain with a hint of gun smoke.  In the mouth it is rich and multi-layered, augmented by unobtrusive sweetness and a simmering phenolic drive, that flows across the palate, leading to a prolonged and spicy close.  Due to the varietal intensity of Gewürz, some additional winemaking techniques have been employed to give the wine extra complexity.  Skin contact offers increased structure, while oak aging on lees has added mouthfeel.
