Dessert Gewurztraminers are a rarity for Dry River, the previous one being produced in 2004. These grapes were harvested on the 18th of May at 30+ brix. The gentle, careful processing yielded juice with an extraordinary purity of flavour. The wine has an appropriate pure golden hue, an ebullient nose of honeycomb, crystallized ginger and cinnamon laced with orange zest. The palate reveals an intriguing complexity of integrated rich and round flavours. Ginger, honeycomb, cinnamon and sweet orange all contribute without sacrificing the refreshing clarity of expression. Wines such as these can be long lived with proper cellaring and the 750mL bottle means there is more to enjoy at the time of opening!
