Dry River Lovat Gewurztraminer 2022

Gewurztraminer is often overlooked, stereotyped as overtly floral and aromatic, but this single vineyard expression from Dry River is an exceptional example of how gorgeous Gewurzt can be. The wine is complex and layered with notes of stone fruit, spice and fresh earth. The nose is subtle and the palate is powerful, structured and luscious.

In their words - Named for one of South Wairarapa’s earliest sheep stations, Dry River rests on the very arid, gravelly, free-draining soils near the Ruamahanga River, an area known as the Martinborough Terrace. Dry River was founded in 1979 by Dr Neil and Dawn McCallum and was one of Martinborough’s first wineries. The McCallums’ dream was to produce unique, high-quality wines that age beautifully. It’s been our mission ever since. All wines are estate-grown over approximately 12ha on the Dry River Estate, Craighall and Lovat Vineyards.
