Why You Will Love It

  • Bright & Aromatic: This wine offers a delightful burst of rose water, lychees, citrus, and spice, making each sip a sensory experience. The aromatic complexity is perfect for those who love fragrant whites.
  • Crisp Yet Textured: With a balance of crisp citrus and ginger flavours, this Gewürztraminer maintains a refreshing acidity while offering a smooth, textural mouthfeel that lingers on the palate.
  • Minimal Intervention Winemaking: Hand-harvested early in the morning to preserve freshness, the grapes undergo a gentle maceration and cold fermentation, allowing the natural aromatics to shine through. A small portion of the wine is aged in older French oak, adding subtle complexity.
  • Unique Terroir Expression: The grapes are sourced from the historic Block 4, planted in 1978, which benefits from the dry-grown, minimal-input farming approach and the distinctive gravel and loam soils over clay, ensuring a high-quality wine with depth.
  • Perfect for Warm Days or Light Fare: This refreshing, aromatic white wine is ideal for sunny afternoons, paired with light dishes such as seafood, Asian cuisine, or fresh salads. It’s a versatile choice that’s both elegant and easy-drinking.

Tasting Notes

The Forest Hill Vineyard Gewürztraminer 2025 opens with a fragrant nose of rose water, lychees, citrus zest, and a hint of spice, creating an inviting and lively first impression. On the palate, fresh citrus flavours of lemon and lime combine with a touch of ginger and honeyed notes, adding both freshness and depth. The wine is crisp yet textured, with a finely-tuned acidity that enhances its lively character. The subtle oak influence from the 10% portion aged in older French oak adds complexity without overpowering the fruit, creating a wine that is beautifully balanced and elegant.

Perfect Pairings

This Gewürztraminer is a versatile food companion, particularly suited to light and aromatic dishes. It pairs wonderfully with spicy Thai or Indian cuisine, fresh seafood such as prawns or sushi, and lighter vegetarian fare like fresh salads or goat cheese. For a delightful match, enjoy it with soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, or a fruit-based dessert such as lemon tart or poached pears.

FAQ Wine Terms 🤔

  • Macceration on Skins: This is the process where the crushed grapes are left in contact with their skins for a period before pressing. It helps to extract more flavour and aroma from the skins, contributing to the wine’s richness and complexity.
  • Cold Settling: After fermentation, the wine is allowed to naturally clear by letting heavier particles settle at the bottom of the tank. This process enhances the purity and clarity of the wine.
  • Stainless Steel Fermentation: The use of stainless steel tanks during fermentation helps preserve the fresh, aromatic characteristics of the grape. It also allows for precise temperature control, ensuring the wine retains its bright fruit flavours and crisp acidity.
  • French Oak (Older Barrels): A small portion of the wine is aged in older French oak barrels, which contribute subtle flavours and textures without overwhelming the fruit. The oak ageing process adds complexity and a creamy texture to the final wine.
  • Terroir: Terroir refers to the combination of environmental factors such as soil, climate, and terrain that influence the character of the grapes grown in a particular vineyard. The unique terroir of the Forest Hill Vineyard, with its gravel and loam soils over clay, helps create a wine with depth and elegance.
