Cave Spring Gewurztraminer white wine bottle

Cave Spring Gewurztraminer 2023

This Gewurztraminer comes from 100% estate fruit from the Niagara Escarpment. It sees a brief maceration period before undergoing an 11-month lees-aging period in barrel. Deep, honeyed flavours on the nose and palate, with layers of baked pineapple, mango, and lemon with some attractive, oxidative, nutty notes starting to emerge. This wine flaunts a mineral presence that blossoms on a long finish.
