Who/What/How:
- Lani Wines is the solo venture of winemaker Alana McGettigan. Alana has worked in the wine industry since 2002 and worked at vineyards in New Zealand, Australia, Italy and France. This includes spells with some of the finest winemakers in New Zealand, which led to her being given the opportunity to pursue her first solo venture - this very Gewürztraminer.
Taste:
- 10-15 year old vines are destemmed in a cold press for 6 hours to add texture and complexity. Then, 90% is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the aromatics, while the remaining 10% is wild fermented in aged barrels to add further body and complexity. Look for aromatic notes of Turkish Delight and ginger to melt into ripe fruit flavours of lychee, mandarin and mango.
