Pirie Estate Gewurztraminer

Yellow straw in colour, the wine is highly perfumed with aromas of pure lycee and musk. The palate is full with spice and fruit components. Youthful at present, the finish still shows a hint of tannin from soaking on skins.

The Estate wines are sourced from privileged blocks in the broader Tamar Valley area (including Relbia and White Hills). The vineyard management of these blocks is guided from bud burst to ensure that the high quality fruit requirements for the Pirie label are met. In particular, yield is strictly managed season by season to avoid overcropping and this usually means maintaining yields below 10 tonnes per hectare.

The challenge with this grape is to retain freshness and moderate alcohols while still encouraging the wonderfully exotic musk-like aromas which lovers of this variety crave. As always, our intent was to make this wine truly food-friendly and varietally authentic.
