Delatite `Catherine’s Block` Reserve Gew

  1. Delatite `Catherine’s Block` Reserve Gewurtztraminer 2012 (12x375mL), VIC.

Wine Summary Image

Our Reserve Gewürztraminer comes from Catherine’s Block (named for David’s wife) an old lucerne paddock that was planted to grapes in 1972, and is made very much in the mould of the vendage tardive wines of Alsace.

The fruit for this wine was allowed to hang on the vine for ten days longer than our dry ‘Deadmans’ Hill’, to allow more sweetness and a more intense flavour to develop in the berries. The fruit was hand-picked and then crushed into our press where it was allowed to sit for six hours on skins, allowing the dehydrated/botrytised berries to release their sugar into the juice.

The juice was then cold settled in the tank before warming up and undergoing natural/wild ferment in tank. The ferment was stopped while there was still 60g/L of sugar left unfermented in the wine. It was then prepared for bottling without any use of fining agents and bottled.

Expert Reviews

A delicate and delicious semi-sweet wine capable of matching fresh fruit, pastry desserts, or just a hot day when you want a little sugar-based energy. 375ml. Rating 92 - Drink by 2017, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion (MAR/2013)

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

The wine has a lovely pale straw colour

Aroma

A nose of musk and roses.

Palate

The palate is of course sweet but is balanced with a clean acid finish.

Food Matching

Enjoy it with all deserts, especially poached pear with home-made vanilla ice cream.

Cellaring

The sweetness and acid of this wine will allow it to age and soften for twelve years.
