Fetherston ‘Magnolia’ Garganega/Gewurztraminer 2018
Single vineyard white field blend of Garganega (67%) & Gewürztraminer (33%).
Gewürztraminer – pressed straight to older French oak barriques. Fermented wild with regular bâtonnage, followed by 5 months maturation.
Garganega – 75% was destemmed and spent 6 days on skins. 25% underwent three weeks carbonic maceration. Both batches then pressed to older French oak to complete wild fermentation. Matured for 5 months prior to blending.
Bright straw-yellow in colour, this charismatic wine displays aromas of honeysuckle, lemon balm, stonefruit and lychee. The palate displays cool minerality among refreshing layers of melon and lemon with a subtle, gently savoury finish.
