Analytical Data: Alcohol: 14% vol., Total acidity: 5,8 g/l., Residual sugar: 100,5 g/l.,
pH: 3,33.
Tasting Characteristics: Allowing the fruit to stay on the vine and dehydrate intensifies
aromas and flavours to the point of perfection. Is a full flavoured wine exhibiting
rose-petals, pear and apricot character, and the spicy floral aromas characteristic of the
Gewurztraminer grape. The residual sugar is well balanced by acidity, so that the overall
effect is refreshing, neither cloying nor tart. This wine has a pleasant, long finish. Our
Late Harvest Omega is superb served all by itself, or excellent with a wide variety of
fruity desserts. I am particularly fond of this wine with pate at the commencement of
the meal, or just with fruit at the meal’s end. Drink between now and 2017.
