Shut The Gate For Freedom Gewurztraminer 2022 (6 Bottles) Clare Valley

$194.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Gewurztraminer is quietly coming back from the 1980’s and the fresh tropical lychee fruit flavours with a hint of ginger is worth a reunion. This dry version is a revelation served with your fave Asian dish.

Sourced from a single Polish Hill River Valley block planted back in 1981 when this variety was hitting the Top 10 as a Riesling Traminer blend. As a varietal it is all lychees and fresh tropical flavours with just a hint of spice and ginger. A little texture gives the wine a plush luxurious feel and the perfume is just knock out.

Night harvesting at low temperatures retains all the fresh fruit flavours and bright acidity, then holding the chilled juice on solids in the airbag press for a few hours prior fermentation helps deepens the flavours. 2022 was an outstanding vintage and this Gewurztraminer is a shining example of the sheer quality of the resulting wines.

Description

About Shut The Gate Wines

We’re a small wine producer and grape grower passionate about single site and best of region grape varieties. While we have lots of different wine batches they’re all tiny quantities and we don’t put our label on a bottle if it doesn’t make the cut.

We love classic varieties like dry Clare Rieslings, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Grenache, Cabernet and they make up the core of our portfolio but we do crave something a little off beat like Fiano, Sangiovese, Barbera, Negroamaro and Tempranillo.

We call the Clare Valley home and spend the majority of our life there but we also have a foot in the Snowy Mountains NSW chasing cool climate grapes as well, the best of both worlds really.

Please pop in next time you’re in either region and say hello, we’d love to see you.

Kind Regards, Rasa, Richard & The STG Crew.

Oh! Just bragging a bit………..
