WINE DESCRIPTION

Robertson Winery's Special Late Harvest Gewürztraminer is a delightful wine that boasts a unique blend of fruity and floral notes. Produced by one of South Africa's most renowned wineries, this wine is made from grapes grown in the Robertson appellation, known for its warm climate and fertile soils. The vineyard features a combination of trellised and bush vines, which are carefully tended to by skilled viticulturists. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, which are then fermented and aged in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a luscious and sweet dessert wine with a rich golden color and a bouquet of lychee, rose petals, and honey.
