The Story Behind the Bottle
Orange wine is the oldest style in the world, almost abandoned after two world wars, then recently rediscovered. Open your mind and your palate, and put your preconceptions aside. Hand-picked Gewurztraminer grapes are soaked on their skins, pressed and fermented, just like a red wine. The result is Gewurz’s classic big spice and lychee perfume with the structure and weight of a red. It’s made by brothers Peter and Fritz May, seventh generation winemakers at the Karl May estate in Rheinhessen. Both have studied oenology at university and travelled widely – Peter having worked in New Zealand and Fritz in Australia and Austria. Eco-friendly in the vineyard and non-interventional in the cellar, they have created this fine, complex Orange wine.
