Tasting Notes
p>Park Wine has no rules. It's for fun, enjoyment and a laugh when you pull out the bottle. Pre conceived ideas exist all around. The notion of Gewürztraminer as a sweet wine is one of those strongest notions. We committed to challenging that by making a skin-contact white, so dry it's like walking barefoot through the desert.Made like a red wine, we allowed wild fermentation, leaving the wine in contact with the skins for 14 days. Picked a little earlier then some might, the battle is to keep it focussed after all that time on skins. Pressed to old oak barrels where it stayed for the next 3 months, then bottled directly from the barrels, no fancy filters.
Here at Vinteloper we're having a debate about nature vs nurture. In winemaking which is best? Made from exactly the same grapes as ODEON Riesling, the artistic framework here is nuture; to use all the tools available to tweak and tinker in the chase for perfection. From 2015 is a wine that fills us with pride, as those small adjustments yield tangible improvements from previous releases. It's that last 2% that is the hardest to achieve.Layer upon layer of mineral, crunch, lime & florals, highlighted by the searing natural acidity reinforces the potential longevity of Riesling. - Winery Note
