A floral, slightly spicy white wine which is fresh, light and slightly sweet but complex enough to drink with food (fusion and spicier dishes). For those looking for something Intense, aromatic, and just off dry. Fruity on the palate. The older vineyard blocks ensure complexity. Delicious served ice cold or to accompany a spicy, aromatic dish.
Tasting Notes
A floral, slightly spicy white wine which is fresh, light and slightly sweet but complex enough to drink with food (fusion and spicier dishes). Created to satisfy market demand for a lighter, slightly sweet, floral blend. We had the ideal varieties and Jasmine was born. The evocative name reflects the essence of the wine.
Blend Information
30% Moscat Ottonel, 33% Gewurztraminer, 37% Riesling
In the Vineyard
Moscato, Riesling and Gewurztraminer were picked slightly earlier than usual to retain freshness and ensure a lighter style. Healthy fruit was handpicked and delivered in the morning while cool.
In the Cellar
The grapes were crushed and destalked before 6 hours of skin contact. Gentle pressing followed and the juice was settled overnight. Cold fermentation ensured the retention of fruit and after blending and stabilization the wine was bottled.
