Lawson’s Dry Hills Ranu 2023

As you might expect from this special co-ferment of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, this wine has a beautiful floral nose and array of fruit characters including red apple, lime and white peach. The palate is dry with intense flavours and a lovely mineral character, particularly from the Riesling component. All three varieties make their presence felt with the Riesling providing an acid focus, the Pinot Gris giving a lushness to the mid-palate and the Gewurztraminer bringing weight and a little phenolic structure.

This is an unusual wine and a real delight for those who love aromatic wines but are looking for something a bit different.
