Robertson Winery Gewürztraminer Late Harvest (75cl, 12.5%)

A medium-sweet South African white wine from the Robertson Valley, made from Gewürztraminer. The grapes come from vines on Karoo soils on well-drained mountain slopes, and only free-run juice is used. A touch of honeyed botrytis adds complexity. Fermentation takes place slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks over 18 days at 15°C. Serve well chilled between 8–10°C. The wine shows honeysuckle, rose petals, ripe lychee, pineapple and candied pear on the nose, with lychee and ripe peach on the palate. Honeyed botrytis character emerges at mid-palate, while medium-plus acidity keeps the sweetness in check. The finish lingers with lychee, pear and floral notes.
