Gewürztraminer Riserva

THE SCENT OF DREAMS
The gold-laden midday light creates a trance, in which the heart of the matter remains hidden from the open eyes. But the nose can sense that mystery, and the palate savours its bewitching spell. The vineyards’ scented rose petals insinuate the senses and rouse, from her secret place of rest, Sleeping Beauty, who wakes to an intoxicating clove-laden garden.

VINIFICATION
Extending maceration few days before fermentation, spontaneous fermentation of not clarified must in 500 l oak barrels, further ten month aging in the same vessels.
