Appellation: Australia’s warm climate and sandy soils produce large yields, however,
artisan grape growers often remove about half the fruit at budding to allow for a smaller number of berries with highly concentrated flavor, aroma and body.
Style: The lively golden hue of Winexpert’s Selection International Australian Traminer/Riesling reveals a combination of floral notes and apple crispness with perfumed headiness of lychee, rose petals, and hints of passion fruit. The long finish and medium body makes a great off-dry wine for sipping.
