Henschke ’Joseph Hill’ Gewurztraminer 2010
|
Background
The traminer grape originated in the Tramin area of the north-east of Italy. This variety has been grown for centuries in French Alsace and Germany. The German prefix gewürz, meaning spicy, is used when the wine exhibits an aromatic spicy character. The altitude, cool climate and deep loam soils of Eden Valley provide excellent conditions for this variety. The gewürztraminer vineyard is planted on well-drained deep sandy loam and silt and is named after Joseph Hill Thyer who pioneered the first vines on this property in the early 1900s.
TASTING NOTES
Pale green-gold in colour. Delicate aromas of lychees, musk and rose-petal florals. The sweet, fruity palate is fleshy and textured with an elegant balance, fine acidity and a long, crisp finish.
