Villa Maria Reserve Gewurztraminer 2007
GisborneGewürztraminer
The 2007 vintage was outstanding for Gisborne and Marlborough Gewürztraminer. This variety is notorious for yield inconstancy; however the spring conditions of 2006 were ideal for fast flowering followed by further warm weather ensuring a fantastic fruit set. Fine weather throughout the summer and autumn periods favoured good ripening and flavour development.
