Tasting Notes
Gewurztraminer (pronounced gevurts-tramina) has its origins in the northeast of France being a mutation of an ancient variety called Savagnin. Gewurztramine's bunches have almost purple berries when ripe but the wine is almost always white. There is hardly a more aromatic variety than Gewurztraminer which boasts strong aromas of rose petals, lychee, very ripe citruses, raisins or sweet spice. The wine usually has a bigger body, higher alcohol content, slightly oily texture, lower acidity and is often made with considerable levels of residual sugar. - Winery Note
Topper's Mountain is named after brothers Edward and William Topper, employees of George Jnr. and Alwyn Wyndham (sons of George Wyndham, founder of Wyndham Estate). George Jnr. and Alwyn owned New Valley Station, which included the present day Topper's Mountain. Mark Kirkby established the current vineyard between 1998 and 2002, with his wife, Stephanie and three daughters. - Winery Note
