Description

If you like your Gewurz big, bold and flavourful, this one from Topper's Mountain is just the ticket.

The grapes get handpicked, then their juice gets fermented in ceramic eggs before being set to age on lees in stainless steel. The time in ceramic eggs is slow and steady, building texture and complexity of flavour.

The end product is a big, ripe white wine full of tropical fruit, lemon balm, zesty citrus and a spicy finish.

93 Points - "Spice and all things nice. Cardamom, mace and cinnamon burrow below Turkish delight, rose and mangosteen. Dried pears and a luscious lychee syrup note lead into praline toffee pushed to a caramelised edge. The subtle element of sweetness is well balanced by a touch of astringency." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 Points - "Big ripe scents, big ripe flavours. Plenty of grip. Lots of lychee, lemon balm, egg custard in aromas and taste. Interesting wine, deep and chewy, strong in its sweeter fruit characters but also an seaweed-umami tang, zingy acidity pushing through and some attractive, almost peppery spice. It’s a lot. But a lot done well. Dive in." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

This unique variety has potential to create some of the best textural white wines in the world hence the texture was in our prime focus. Juice from handpicked grapes is fermented in ceramic eggs and consequently aged in stainless steel tank with fine lees to be bottled without fining & filtration. The resulting wine shows layers of flavours of grapefruit, orange peel, mango, cardamon and mainly long deliciously spicy finish with nice phenolic grip. This Gewurztraminer is bone dry, athletic and fresh reflecting the cool climate of our terroir.
