Tasting Notes
Appearance
Delatite Deadman’s Hill Gewurztraminer 2025 presents a bright, pale gold hue with excellent clarity — the hallmark of a biodynamic estate Gewurztraminer crafted with 100% wild yeast, no enzymes, no fining agents and minimal sulphur, allowing the vineyard’s characteristics to shine through fully and honestly. Fresh and immediately inviting in the glass.
Aroma
Classically expressive on the nose — musk and lychee lead with the varietal generosity and perfume that defines great Gewurztraminer, with a hint of apricot adding a gentle stone fruit sweetness. The biodynamic farming principles and wild yeast fermentation allow the vineyard’s natural character to speak with clarity and precision, delivering an aroma of genuine purity and varietal integrity.
Palate
Layered and beautifully structured — an initial lemony tartness opens the palate with freshness and precision before bursting out with rich tropical fruits, apricot, musk and rosewater in a generous and satisfying mid-palate. The pleasing dry finish provides balance and length, with the natural acidity from wild yeast fermentation keeping everything vibrant and food-friendly. A Gewurztraminer of genuine character and complexity.
Pairs With
A natural match for spicy aromatic dishes — Thai green curry, Northern Indian curries, Moroccan tagine or Vietnamese pho — equally outstanding alongside soft-ripened cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon or Asian-inspired seafood. The musk, lychee, tropical fruit and dry finish make this one of the most versatile and rewarding food wines in the Delatite estate range.
